Out of all countries which has the best rail system? This is based off the efficiency of locomotives, safety, etc
So don't just say American trains are the best b/c they can haul more or some shit like that
>honestly I'm into American and British trains so I don't really care
>But Amtrak really sucks so I'm not rooting for my home country

Switzerland arguable has a better train network. 2430.9 passenger-kilometres a year versus Japan's 1,995. Switzerland also moves a lot more goods by rail as well, 46% of freight is moved by train compared to Japan's 6%. Although Japan's rail network is impressive, the difference really stems to geography and population. Switzerland is beginning to get ready for high speed transit as well.

In addition to Switzerland's freight and passenger network being used much more extensively, there's also a much wider array of rail related transit as well. Throughout the country their are many cog railways operating, funiculars, trams, and even steam trains in service. Much more of the network is electrified and powered in an environmentally friendly way. The power is from nuclear plants built in mountains so nothing can go wrong effectively, and hydroelectricity. Even cities like Zurich have very high transit usage with some 40-50% going to work via public transit which is largely tram or train, and another 30% walking. For a city of its size, this is very impressive. Switzerland also has some of the best on time performance in Europe, and one of the best safety records as well although this is hindered by the extreme terrain of the country.

Belgium is pretty good. Also had the first rail system in Continental Europe. Over 200m yearly ridership with a population of 11m. If you're under 25 you can go from one side of the country to the other for €6,40. If NMBS (Nationale Maatschappij der Belgische Spoorwegen) took some inspiration from NS International (Nederlandse Spoorwegen) on security, it'd be perfect, right now it's pretty easy for illegals to ride the trains without paying, which is a lot harder in the Netherlands. Dutch trains are also very comfy while Belgian first class is comparable to Dutch second class at best.
My nomination for best is the Netherlands.
