The Trans-Sulawesi Railway (Indonesian: Jalur kereta api Trans-Sulawesi), is a railway network in the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. The first phase includes 146 kilometers route from Makassar to Parepare, which was completed in November 2022 and has been operating ever since.[2] The total plan for the railway would be around 2,000 kilometres spanning from Makassar to Manado.[3] Most of other sections are still under construction.[2][3]

The Trans-Sulawesi Railway are built with 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge which is wider than the 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) cape gauge used in Java and Sumatra to accommodate more weight and speed.[4][5]
