Abstract: This paper construes ninety-two nations railway industry with varying circumstances, in an overarching aim to extrapolate a subsidy baseline by way of numerical assimilation. Of the ninety-two nations, fifty-six nations' railways had been built during colonial rule to expedite the exploit of resources. These days, 78 nations have fully state-owned railways, many have constituted Ministries of Railways or Departments of Transport to develop the expertise in the handle operations. The selection of nations by omission of home-country, investigates the circumstance of railway industries for numerical assimilation, to extrapolate a subsidy baseline. The study is structured in four sections. Section one outlines regime change that influenced the historical development of railways. Section 2 outlines public interest in the size and complexity of railways infrastructure investment, then the validation of public interest by way of railway utilization comparatives. Section 3 presents the correlation of statistical measures of public interest, productivity and development. Section Four is the subsidy baseline by application of the Pythagorean theorem as methodology. Pythagorean Theorem is a straightforward measure to validate the scientific proposition of the ideal subsidy. The idea is that one side recognizes infrastructure investments, the other side represents its expected returns in terms of ITMS, GDP and HDi. Therefore, the gap between these two values can be explored as equivalent subsidy. In broad strokes, a subsidy figure in percent is extrapolated in this assimilation for each thousand route kilometres. Subsidy is thought to encourage economic advancement in equal importance to social equity. A baseline is an initial point of reference for comparative measure. A baseline represents a current circumstance for one to clearly evaluate specific adaptations.
