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.
