For the most part yes. Post below me named some exceptions, but in general the US has done a better job than Europe at standardizing rail gauges everywhere. New York runs at standard gauge, and that alone accounts for about 1/3 of all the metro rail on the continent.


Yeah Europe is a total mess. Signalling systems, rail gauges. True.

PS I didn't know the NYC metro was so big compared to the rest. Wow.
