Tali Hatlar: km Sinyalli Ana Hat : 2665 km (%24)
Toplam: km Çift Yollu Ana Hat : 403 (%4)
Bugün için Ülkemiz, km si ana hat olmak üzere, tali hatlarla birlikte (organize sanayi bölgeleri iltisak hatları dahil) toplam km demiryolu ağına sahip bulunmaktadır. Diğer taraftan özel sektörle işbirliği içinde 19 km yol yapılarak bu uzunluk km olmuştur. Ankara-İstanbul ve Ankara-Konya Hızlı tren projeleri kapsamında 463 km çift hattın (926 km tek hat) inşaat yapım çalışmaları devam etmektedir. Ayrıca 192 km konvansiyonel hattın yapımı devam etmektedir.
1923 yılında Osmanlı döneminden : Km
yılları arasında : Km
1951–2007 yılları arasında: : Km
2007–2013 yapımı devam eden, planlanan : Km
Bu rakamlar 1950’li yıllardan sonra demiryollarımıza ciddi bir yatırımın yapılmadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bunun doğal bir sonucu olarak demiryollarımızın toplam taşımadaki payı 1950’den günümüze yükte %68’den %5 seviyelerine kadar düşmüştür.
Bu kapsamda, demiryollarımızın yeniden ayağa kaldırılarak Türk Milletinin modern demiryolu taşımacılığıyla tanıştırılması amacıyla; Bakanlığımızca yeni tren hatları inşa ederek Türk Halkının Hızlı Trenle tanıştırılması, mevcut hatlarımızın iyileştirilerek trenlerimizin hızlarının normal seyir hızlarına getirilmesi ile TCDD’nin yeniden yapılandırılarak daha etkin ve verimli bir Kuruluş haline getirilmesi şeklinde üç ana hedef belirlenmiştir.
Bu hedeflere ulaşılmasını temin amacıyla sektördeki projelere yeni bir ivme kazandırmak üzere, demiryolu sektöründe pek çok önemli projeye start verilmiştir.
