That doesn't quite work. For example, the US doesn't have a national
rail system.
Sure it does. The term (or a similar one) is used for the connected
common carrier freight trackage.
Well, in the British English sense, about the only rails that such a
phrase properly works with is the Amtrak-owned Northeast Corridor.
Everything else is just private property.
Yes, but "national rail system/network" is also used, for example by the
AAR, to refer to these private railroads.
