The
Imperial Russian narrow railway track gauge was 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm ), the current track gauge is predominantly 750 mm (2 ft 5+ 1 ⁄2 in ). In Soviet Russia, narrow-gauge railways were mostly common in forestry and peat industries in low inhabited places. Usually they have one main line and number of temporary branches. There was commonly a passenger service to villages and towns for workers.
As of the mid 2010s, a number of industrial railways survive in places with bad roads, but every year some railways are closing.
A government railway operator, RZD, closed all owned common 750 mm railways, but still have a number of
children's railways with standard rolling stock.
The most well-known narrow-gauge railways are
Alapayevsk narrow-gauge railway (municipal passenger),
Apsheronsk narrow-gauge railway (mountain industrial railway with passenger service), and
Karinskaya narrow-gauge railway (suburban passenger private railway). Also children's railways are located in many big cities.
