A railway system existed in Mauritius from the 1860s until 1964. In 1956 the decision was made to close the railway due to unprofitability. At this time, Mauritius Government Railways had 146 km (91 mi) of 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) (standard gauge) track and 47 locomotives. Freight transport continued until 1964 when the railway was scrapped. From 1964 to 2020, there were no operational long-distance railways in Mauritius. With increasing road traffic congestion, plans surfaced in 2009 for a metro system. The first stage opened in 2020.

  • Schienenverkehr auf Mauritius bestand von 1864 bis 1964. Während dieser Zeit betrieb die staatliche Mauritius Government Railway ein normalspuriges Streckennetz mit zwei Haupt- und vier Nebenlinien. Die Eisenbahn war ein Schlüsselfaktor für die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung der Insel. Wegen anhaltender fehlender Rentabilität wurde das Streckennetz jedoch nach einem Jahrhundert stillgelegt. Seit 2020 besteht der Metro Express, eine moderne Stadtbahn. (de)
