This article provides a list of [[high-speed rail]] by country. High-speed rail is [[public transport]] by [[rail transport|rail]] at speeds of at least 200&nbsp;km/h (125&nbsp;mph) for updated track and {{convert|250|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} or faster for new track.<!-- According to EU principles, and the [[High-speed rail]] article--><ref>[http://www.uic.org/spip.php?article971 General definitions of highspeed.] ''uic.asso.fr/'' 2006-11-28.
