Usage
{{Infobox rail}} is used to create an infobox on articles about railway companies; railroad_name is the only mandatory parameter. Template:Tl:Infobox rail line is used for railway lines; This template is sometimes used on articles about both a company and a line.
For railways that operate on standard gauge tracks or for former railways that operated on standard gauge tracks, {{Infobox SG rail}} uses this template but fills in the gauge parameter automatically.
