Solution

U.S.A

Explanation:

The United States of America possesses the most extensive and dense railway network in the world, spanning approximately 250,000 kilometres of operational tracks. This rail network is highly concentrated in the industrial, heavily urbanised northeast region of the East-Central U.S.A., where it links major manufacturing hubs and urban centres. In contrast, while vast nations like Russia and Canada feature long transcontinental rail routes, their overall track network density remains low relative to their immense total land surface area.
