A transcontinental railroad or transcontinental railway is contiguous railroad trackage, that crosses a continental land mass and has terminals at different oceans or continental borders. Such networks can be via the tracks of either a single railroad or over those owned or controlled by multiple railway companies along a continuous route. Although Europe is crisscrossed by railways, the railroads within Europe are usually not considered transcontinental, with the possible exception of the historic Orient Express.Transcontinental railroads helped open up unpopulated interior regions of continents to exploration and settlement that would not otherwise have been feasible. In many cases they also formed the backbones of cross-country passenger and freight transportation networks. Many of them

  • Un chemin de fer transcontinental est une ligne de chemin de fer qui traverse un continent d'un océan ou d'une mer à l'autre. Ces lignes se sont développées surtout en Amérique où elles jouent un rôle important dans les liaisons entre les côtes Atlantique et Pacifique à travers un continent massif, sans liaison fluviale ou maritime facile, tandis qu'en Europe ce concept n'a que peu d'intérêt étant donné les conditions géographiques et géopolitiques très différentes. Seul l'Orient Express qui circulait à travers de nombreuses frontières aurait pu mériter le titre de liaison transcontinentale. (fr)
  • 大陸横断鉄道(たいりくおうだんてつどう、米: Transcontinental Railroad)は、広義では大陸の端から端までをつなぐ鉄道網一般を指す。ただし、鉄道網が縦横無尽に発達しているヨーロッパ大陸を横断する鉄道は通常はこれには含まれない。 (ja)
  • 대륙 횡단 철도(大陸橫斷鐵道)는 대륙을 가로질러, 전형적으로 “바다에서 바다까지” 다다르는 철도를 말한다. 대륙 횡단 철도의 종착역은 대양에서 다른 대양으로 이어져 있다. 유럽에서는 철도망이 가로세로로 촘촘히 놓여 있어서 오리엔트 특급 말고는 따로 대륙 횡단 철도라고 부르지 않는다. 한자 문화권에서는 엄밀히 따져 동서로 관통하는 철도는 대륙횡단철도로, 남북으로 관통하는 철도는 대륙종단철도로 부르지만, 보통은 대륙횡단철도로 통일하여 부르며, 횡단철도와 종단철도의 구분 없이 대륙관통철도라는 말도 쓰인다. (ko)
  • Een transcontinentale spoorlijn is een spoorlijn die een heel continent doorkruist. In volgorde van gereedkomen: * De Panamaspoorweg in Panama, geopend in 1855, slechts 76 kilometer lang. * De Transcontinental Railroad in de Verenigde Staten, geopend in 1869 * De Canadian Pacific Railway in Canada, geopend in 1885 * De Trans-Siberische spoorlijn in Rusland, geopend in 1905 * De Trans-Australische spoorlijn, geopend in 1912 Ooit bestonden plannen voor de aanleg van een spoorweg tussen Caïro (Egypte) en Kaapstad (Zuid-Afrika), maar deze plannen werden nooit uitgevoerd.

  • 越洲鐵路是橫跨大陸的鐵路,通常是由海去海的模式。由於歐洲的鐵路都是以十字型的方式鋪排的,嚴格來說算不上越洲鐵路,除了東方快車行经的铁路例外。 (zh)
  • Un ferrocarril transcontinental es una red contigua de vías de ferrocarril que cruza una masa de tierra continental, con terminales en diferentes océanos o fronteras continentales.​ Estas redes pueden ser a través de las vías de ferrocarril, ya sea una sola o más, que sean propiedad o controladas por múltiples compañías ferroviarias a lo largo de una ruta continua. Aunque Europa, por ejemplo, está entrecruzada por ferrocarriles, las vías férreas dentro de territorio europeo no se consideran, por lo general, transcontinentales, con la única y posible excepción del histórico Orient Express.

  • Una ferrovia transcontinentale è una rete contigua di binari ferroviari che attraversa una massa continentale con terminali in diversi oceani o frontiere continentali. Tali reti possono essere attraverso i binari di una singola ferrovia o di quelle possedute o controllate da più compagnie ferroviarie lungo un percorso continuo. Sebbene l'Europa sia attraversata dalle ferrovie, le ferrovie all'interno dell'Europa non sono generalmente considerate transcontinentali, con la possibile eccezione dello storico Orient Express.
