the following definitions are described in the railway business act , enforcement regulations of article 4 in japan . 日本の法律では、鉄道事業法施行規則第四条で、次のものが列挙されている。

the reason why there are two acts , the railway business act and the act on rail tracks , is that the act on rail tracks mainly covers railways set up on roads . 鉄道事業法と軌道法の2種類があるのは、軌道法が主に道路に敷設される鉄道を対象としているからである。
moreover , other than types of railways mentioned above , there are some railways constructed on private properties not based on the railway business act and the act on rail tracks . これらとは別に、一部私有地において、鉄道事業法や軌道法に基づかず建設された鉄道も存在する。
