Network and Infrastructure
Presently the Sri Lankan railway network consists of 1,508 kilometres, all of which is 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge. As of July 2011, none of the network is electrified and all regular services run on diesel power. Some lines were narrow gauge lines, at 2 ft 6 in (762 mm), before being converted to broad gauge. The railway network is divided into three operating regions, based in Colombo, Anuradhapura, and Nawalapitiya.

Famous quotes containing the word network:
“Of what use, however, is a general certainty that an insect will not walk with his head hindmost, when what you need to know is the play of inward stimulus that sends him hither and thither in a network of possible paths?”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
