Iceland does not have a railway network. The few lines that have existed in this Nordic country have seen goods transit but were never intended to transport passengers.

The railway projects never came to fruition, notably due to geological constraints. The car, bus, plane and ferry remain the only means of traveling around the island of 370,000 inhabitants, whose surface area is comparable to that of Bulgaria and Hungary. In Cyprus, under British occupation, a 59 km long mixed freight-passenger line operated between 1905 and 1951. Since 2004, the old station in the village of Evrychou has hosted the Cyprus Railway Museum.
