Rail transport in Angola consists of three separate Cape gauge lines that do not connect: the northern Luanda Railway, the central Benguela Railway, and the southern Moçâmedes Railway. The lines each connect the Atlantic coast to the interior of the country. A fourth system once linked Gunza and Gabala but is no longer operational.

The Rede Ferroviária Federal, Sociedade Anônima was the State-owned national railway company of Brazil created from Brazilian Federal Law #3.115 on March 16, 1957, after several railroads were nationalized by the Brazilian government. However, the railroad did not take full effect until September 30, 1957. The RFFSA linked 42 railways together, creating a regional system composed of 22 railroads. The goal of the RFFSA was to promote and advance the railroad sector of Brazil, creating a north-south-east-west rail network in all five regions of Brazil. But it failed and the RFFSA only served four of the five regions with a north-south rail network win 19 units of the federation of Brazil. By 1999, freight service of the railroad was liquidated and privatized, with the passenger service of the railroad liquidations occurring in 2007.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Barreiro railway station</span> Station in Lisbon, Portugal

Barreiro is a railway station on the Alentejo Line that serves as a connection between rail services on the South Bank of the Tagus and Soflusa's river transport to Lisbon, Portugal. The first Barreiro station began operating on June 15, 1857, although it was not inaugurated until February 1, 1861. Since it was too far from the river pier, a new station was built and inaugurated in 1884. This station included an important workshop hub, which underwent extension work during the 1900s, but the facilities were becoming insufficient for the demand by the following decade. However, political and social instability, which was reflected in the administration of the railroads, dragged out the process. It was not until the 1930s that the new workshops were completed. Meanwhile, in 1923 the Ramal do Seixal branch line went into service, and in 1935 the railway between Barreiro and Lavradio was duplicated. The Barreiro station was remodeled and expanded in 1943, and in the 1950s the workshops began to house diesel locomotives from other lines that had been electrified. On December 14, 2008, a new Barreiro station was inaugurated, and the old one was closed.
