{{main|Rail transport in Sweden}}
[[Rail transport]] is operated by [[SJ AB|SJ]], [[DSBFirst]], [[Green Cargo]], [[Vy Tåg]] and more.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Public transportation |url=https://visitsweden.com/about-sweden/public-transportation/ |access-date=2024-01-11 |website=visitsweden.com |language=en}}</ref> Most [[Counties of Sweden|counties]] have companies that provide ticketing, marketing and financing of local passenger rail, but the actual operation is undertaken by the aforementioned companies. There is 11,663&nbsp;km of railway, of which 9,227 km is nationalised and 3,594 km is county-owned. As of 2008, over 11,000 km of rails are {{RailGauge|sg}} gauge, of which 7,531 km is electrified. There are 65 km of {{RailGauge|891mm}} gauge.

Trains generally keep to the left, as opposed to all neighbouring countries.

===Light rail and metros===

[[Stockholm Metro]] (''Stockholms tunnelbana'') is the only metro system in Sweden.

Cities with light rail (trams);
* [[Gothenburg]]: [[Gothenburg tram]] – consisting of 190&nbsp;km on a total track length of 161&nbsp;km
* [[Norrköping]]: [[Norrköping tramway]] – small but growing 
* [[Stockholm]]: [[Tvärbanan]], [[Nockebybanan]], [[Lidingöbanan]], [[Spårväg City]]
* [[Lund]] – [[Lund tramway]]

Stockholm previously had a large tram network, but this was discontinued in favour of bus and metro; a revival of the tram network was seen in the construction of [[Tvärbanan]] in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

===Railway links with adjacent countries===
* [[Rail transport in Norway|Norway]] at [[Kornsjø]] ([[Gothenburg]]-[[Oslo]]), [[Charlottenberg]]/[[Eda, Sweden|Eda]] ([[Stockholm]]-[[Oslo]]), [[Storlien]] ([[Östersund]]-[[Trondheim]], not electrified Storlien-Trondheim) and [[Riksgränsen]] ([[Narvik]]-[[Kiruna]]) 
** same gauge – same voltage – same [[Automatic Train Control|protection system]]. Most Swedish and Norwegian rail vehicles can cross the border. As there is only single-track at all border crossings, there is no need for bridges to make the transition from left- to right-hand traffic.
* [[Transportation in Finland|Finland]] at [[Tornio]]/[[Haparanda]] 
** [[break-of-gauge]] {{RailGauge|1435mm}}/{{RailGauge|1524mm}} – other protection system. All freight has to be reloaded. No passenger traffic by rail.
* [[Transportation in Denmark|Denmark]] at [[Öresund bridge]] 
** same gauge – voltage change [[15kVAC]]/[[25kVAC]] – other protection system. Only custom made locomotives or EMUs can cross the border. Bridges to make the transition from left- to right-hand traffic, are located north of Malmö, so all traffic south of Malmö is in right-hand traffic.
