Most Popular Railway Gauge
Most Popular Railway Gauge.
India has no less than 18,000 miles of track of 5ft. 6in. gauge. This is a nice roomy gauge for such a hot country, permitting, as it does, the employment of passenger carriages of most liberal dimensions. Next to the 4ft. 8½ in. gauge, the metre gauge is the most popular among the railways of the world.
