I always liked trains but I know nothing about them. How do I get started with learning about trains?

not OP, but how would one setup an effective rural train system?
I am more than likely going to end up with a job somewhere that bike riding won't get me to work (forestry job). So I was wondering if there's a country that has an ideal rural train system.
I know there's Switzerland, but aside from them, any other examples?

Poland has a decent rural transit system. A lot of Eastern blocs still have cool, weird rural rail infrastructure. I want to say South Africa has a decent rural rail network still in place. Also, check central America like Honduras and Guatemala.

A good start is looking into whatever rail lines are around you and learning their history. The local library or historical society will have books and other info. There are railfan and model railroading groups though of course some of them will be gigaspergs. There toro ably some kind of rail museum near you. As the plague lockdown lifts there will be more railfan related events happening.

Most importantly: small trains or railcars.
But generally rural trains isn't a field that's expanding. Even with small trains operation is usually still more expensive than buses, so only places where great value is put on public transport will go for it. A rare exception to this is when roads are either in a bad state, or geography doesn't allow for convenient roads parallel to the rail line.
