Narrow Gauge Railways In Egypt, there are three narrow-gauge railway companies: The Egyptian Delta Narrow Gauge Railway The Lower Egypt Railway The Fayoum Railway And the total length of their lines is now 1280 kilometers, an increase of 32 kilometers compared to what it was in 1913. This increase resulted from the line that the Delta Narrow Gauge Railway extended between El-Salhab and Baltim. The Lower Egypt Railway is in the process of extending a new, long line, but it has not been included in the aforementioned lengths because it is not yet useful for transport. The revenues of the three companies reached £E 309,000, an increase of £E 9,000 over their revenues in the previous year. Most of this increase is attributed to the Delta Narrow Gauge Railway. The total operating expenses reached £E 181,242, an increase of £E 7,898 over the previous year's expenses.
