If the Vatican’s isn’t called the PapalMover, it’s a huge missed opportunity.

Unless they’ve changed it, you can only take a train from the Vatican to Italy but not vice versa (and obviously there’s no domestic trains)

On the other hand, I was surprised to learn that Luxembourg and Moldova have passenger rail services, as I thought they might not exist since these countries are so small.

Andorra, despite of what Dan Brown wrote in Te DaVinci Code, has not rail.
(Yes, the map is correct in that part).

Fun fact, San Marino had a railway that connected all the major burghs in the Republic, and the whole country to Rimini in Italy. It was bombed into oblivion by the Allies during WW2 despite San Marino’s neutrality, and never rebuilt since.

Iceland has had some short railways in harbours and at construction sites.
A diesel-operated TBM railway was in use from 2004-2008 in connection with the construction of the Kárahnjúkar hydro-electric power project. The hydropower project required a network of headrace tunnels from the reservoirs to the water turbines. The tunnel network totals 73km with a diameter of 6 to 7.5 metres. Three tunnel boring machines were used to dig out the tunnels, each of which had an associated tunnel railway to transport workers, equipment, cement and spoil material.The maximum speed of the trains was 25 km/h.
In 2004, two trains collided on the railway resulting in three workers sustaining injuries, which was Iceland’s first train collision. Train collisions also occurred in 2005 with two injuries and 2006 with three injuries.
