In the late XIX and XX centuries, many governments had to face a growing pressure, because the areas not included in the main railway network wanted their own local railways. Therefore new lines were built. The secondary railway network was mostly built with a narrow gauge, while in the mountainous areas rack railways were built, to overcome the gradients. This article deals with the building of secondary railways in France, Italy, Spain and the mountainous countries, such as Portugal, Switzerland, Austria.

Abstract
In the late XIX and XX centuries, many governments had to face a growing pressure, because the areas not included in the main railway network wanted their own local railways. Therefore new lines were built. The secondary railway network was mostly built with a narrow gauge, while in the mountainous areas rack railways were built, to overcome the gradients. This article deals with the building of secondary railways in France, Italy, Spain and the mountainous countries, such as Portugal, Switzerland, Austria.
