The table provides data on the usage of rail transportation in four different nations, namely Canada, Japan, Russia, and the USA, in the year 2007.
The most noticeable trend is that Russia dominated in terms of passenger-kilometres and goods transported, while Japan had the highest number of rail passengers. On the other hand, Canada had the least impressive figures across all three categories.
Looking at the details, Russia recorded 995 billion passenger-kilometres, which was almost double that of the USA and more than four times that of Japan. Similarly, Russia led in the goods transported category with 2,667 billion tonne-kilometres, far ahead of the USA's 1,932 billion. Canada, with only 319 billion tonne-kilometres, was at the bottom of this category.
In terms of passenger numbers, Japan stood out with approximately 22 billion, which was significantly higher than Russia's 1.3 billion and the USA's 0.9 billion. Canada had the smallest number of rail passengers, with only 0.03 billion, which was a fraction of the figures for the other countries.
