สายรถไฟที่มีค่าใช้จ่ายในการสร้างมากที่สุด

อันดับเส้นทาง

These railway lines required extraordinary capital investment due to challenging geography, urban tunneling, or advanced technology requirements. Costs per kilometer can reveal the engineering complexity involved.

#	ชื่อ	ค่า	คำอธิบาย
1	Crossrail (Elizabeth Line)	$870M/km (central tunnel)	London's newest railway with 42 km of tunnels beneath central London cost over $23 billion total, the most expensive European railway project.

3	Gotthard Base Tunnel	$210M/km	The 57 km Swiss tunnel cost $12 billion over 17 years of construction through complex Alpine geology.
4	Channel Tunnel	$190M/km (adj.)	The 50.5 km undersea tunnel connecting England and France cost $21 billion in today's money, roughly double the original estimate.
5	California High-Speed Rail	$185M/km	The US's troubled HSR project has seen costs balloon from $33B to over $100B for the 800 km San Francisco to Los Angeles route.
6	HS2 Phase 1 (London–Birmingham)	$350M/km	Britain's controversial high-speed rail project connecting London to Birmingham with extensive tunneling through the Chiltern Hills.
