Israel Railways


Israel Railways (Hebrew: רַכֶּבֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל‎, Rakevet Yisra'el) is Israel's government-owned national railway company and is responsible for all inter-city and suburban railway passenger and freight traffic in the country. It utilizes the standard gauge in all its lines. The network is centered in Israel's densely populated coastal plain from where lines radiate out from Tel Aviv in many directions. Unlike road vehicles, Israeli trains run on the left side of the tracks.
