The gauge was known as "Texas gauge" while required by Texas law until 1875, [4] and used by the New Orleans, Opelousas and Great Western Railroad (NOO&GW) until 1872, and by the Texas and New Orleans Railroad until 1876. The New England railways were similarly standard-gauged in the 1870s.
A rail track gauge is identified by "id". That id is the size in mm (a choice, made for this list). Preferably it has an article link where that gauge definition is described and sourced.

Track gauge or rail gauge (also known as track gage in North America [8]) is the distance between the inner sides (gauge sides) of the heads of the two load bearing rails that make up a single railway line. Each country uses different gauges for different types of trains.
OpenRailwayMap contains data for railway line positions, as well as the following information about them: track type (i.e. bridge, tunnel, regular line); track line type and current use (i.e. main, branch, yard; construction, disused, abandoned); max rail speeds; train protection; track electrification and track voltage if applicable; and track gauge.
