Two rail lines exist, both originating in Phnom Penh and totaling about 612 kilometers of 1,000&nbsp;mm (3&nbsp;ft 3 3⁄8 in) metre gauge single track. 
The first line or the northern line, built by The French colonial government, running from Phnom Penh to Poipet on the Thai border, between 1930 and 1940, with Phnom Penh Railway Station opening in 1932. 
The final connection with Thailand was completed by Royal State Railways in 1942. The service from Bangkok to Battambang was suspended when the French Indochinese Government resumed sovereignty over Battambang and the Sisophon area from Thailand on 17 December 1946, as Thailand was seen as a supporter of Khmer Issarak, the anti-French, Khmer nationalist political movement.<ref name="asia_nikkei_com">{{Cite web|url=https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Cambodia-s-rail-back-on-track-after-four-decades-of-woe|title=Cambodia's rail back on track after four decades of woe}}</ref>

The active part, the southern line, of the network is the Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville line, with stops at Takeo and Kampot.
