6.1.2.2 Rail

As of 2015, the rail network covers seven major routes connecting 35 cities mainly with a 1-meter standard gauge single track. The main trains ply the Ho Chi Minh City–Ha Noi route at an average speed of 50 to 60 km per hour, while the interprovincial trains have average speeds of only 30 to 40 km per hour. These low average speeds result in low fuel efficiency.

In 2010, the railway system had 1,043 passenger wagons (8 were for the wider 1,435-millimeter gauge track) operating a total of 72 million wagon-km over the year, transporting 4.4 billion passenger-km. For freight, the system occupied 4,860 wagons in 2010 (with 352 of the 1,435-millimeter gauge) to transport 3.9 billion freight-ton-km.
