Tunisia inherited much of its rail transport system from the French. The Tunisian Government has developed infrastructure further. The railways are operated by the [[Société Nationale de Chemins de Fer Tunisiens]] (SNCFT), the Tunisian national railway.<ref>[http://www.tunisiaonlinenews.com/dec05/271205-4.html Welcome to Tunisia Online News Updates : The latest news from Tunisia<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060219141345/http://www.tunisiaonlinenews.com/dec05/271205-4.html |date=19 February 2006 }}</ref> A modernisation program is currently underway. It has a total of 2,152&nbsp;km consisting of 468&nbsp;km of {{RailGauge|sg|allk=on}} railways and 1,674 kilometres of {{RailGauge|1000mm|allk=on}}.  Tunis has a light rail system.  In the south of Tunisia, there is a narrow gauge railway called the [[Sfax-Gafsa Railway]] which delivers phosphates and iron ore to the harbour at [[Sfax]]. Tunisia has rail links with the neighbouring country of [[Transport in Algeria|Algeria]] via the [[Ghardimaou]]-[[Souk Ahras]] line, and another connection to [[Tébessa]], however, the latter link is currently not used.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://mikes.railhistory.railfan.net/r052.html | title=In Northern Africa }}</ref> There are no railways yet in neighbouring [[Transport in Libya|Libya]] though some are under construction in 2008; some [[gauge conversion]] would be required for efficient connections.
