The Northern & Eastern Railway (N&ER) was the British railway company that built what is now the West Anglia Main Line, one of the two main lines of the Great Eastern Railway, the other being the Liverpool Street -to-Norwich line built by the Eastern Counties and Eastern Union Railways.
 The N&ER and Eastern Counties Railway merged in 1844.

 Passenger services on the line form part of the Sydney Trains commuter rail network and are marketed as the T6 Carlingford Line.
 The railway line's small catchment, low patronage, short platforms and single track for much of its length mean the T6 generally operates as a shuttle service, with passengers changing at Clyde for T1 North Shore, Northern & Western Line services to the Sydney central business district and Parramatta.
 Most of the line is planned for conversion to light rail as part of the Parramatta Light Rail network.
 As a result, the line will permanently close.

The Etsumi-Nan Line (越美南線 , Etsumi Nansen , "Etsumi South Line") is a railway line in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, operated by the third-sector operator Nagaragawa Railway (長良川鉄道 , Nagaragawa Tetsudō ) .
 The line connects Mino-Ōta Station in Minokamo with Hokunō Station in Gujō.
 It is the only railway line operated by the Nagaragawa Railway.
 The line was originally operated by Japanese National Railways (JNR).

 The north line was later succeeded by West Japan Railway Company (JR West), while the south line was taken by Nagaragawa Railway, a newly founded third-sector company, in 1986.
 As the company name suggests, the line runs along Nagara River.
 As a consequence of Japan's declining population and frequent natural disasters (such as typhoons and heavy snowfall), the company is facing financial difficulties.
The East Coast Railway Line is the single track metre gauge runs between Gemas railway station, in Negeri Sembilan and Tumpat railway station, in Kelantan of Malaysia.

 It runs through the interior, often through deep jungle, thus earning the nickname Jungle Railway.
 Terengganu is the only state in Peninsular Malaysia not served by the KTM railway network.
