Tunisia inherited much of its rail transport system from the French and the Tunisian Government has developed the infrastructure further. Due to historical reasons, the country has two different rail gauge systems. Thus SNCFT manages 471 km of standard 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1 2 in) gauge network in the northern and a 1,674 km metre gauge network in the central and southern part of the country (65 km electrified); only 8 km are double gauged track (2006).
