'''Rail transport in Zambia''' is primarily provided by two companies:
* [[TAZARA Railway]]
* [[Zambia Railways Limited]]

Zambia Railways operates a number of rail lines, including the [[Mulobezi Railway]]; as of the early 2012, it was still in operation, but in poor repair.<ref>{{citation|title= Zambia: Mulobezi Train - Sign of a Failed Concession Deal|author= Brian Hatyoka|url=http://allafrica.com/stories/201204070061.html
