    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OO_gauge

    OO gauge or OO scale (also, 00 gauge and 00 scale) is the most popular standard gauge model railway standard in the United Kingdom, [1] outside of which it is virtually unknown. OO gauge is one of several 4 mm-scale standards (4 mm to 1 ft (304.8 mm), or 1:76.2), and the only one to be marketed by major manufacturers.

  4. Structure gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_gauge

    In narrow curves, long cars like this 26.4 meter long express train car protrude further into the gauge than on a straight track. (180° curve near Königstein im Taunus ) A structure gauge , also called the minimum structure outline , is a diagram or physical structure that sets limits to the extent that bridges, tunnels and other ...

  5. Track spacing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_spacing

    Track centres are usually wider on high-speed lines, as pressure waves knock each other as high-speed trains pass. The minimum track spacing can be derived from the loading gauge. The European Berne Gauge has a width of 3,150 mm (10 ft 4 in). The minimal distance to structures on the side of the track is half of it but that is doubled again for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lötschberg_railway

    For the construction of the Lötschberg line and the main tunnel two special railways had to be constructed to bring material from Frutigen or the junction at Naters near Brig to the portals of the Lötschberg tunnel. The gauge of the railways was 750 mm (2 ft 5 + 1 ⁄ 2 in), the maximum gradient was 60 per thousand (6%) and the minimum curve ...

    The tunnel has double track, is electrified and allows for a maximum speed of 160 kilometers per hour (99 mph). The cost to build the tunnel, excluding the infrastructure, was 450 million Norwegian krone (NOK). The tunnel has accelerated intercity and regional traffic west of Oslo and freed up capacity for the Oslo Commuter Rail on the old ...

    Standard-gauge car on 4-rail triple-gauge track. Narrow gauge track is two central rails; broad gauge is far left rail and second from right. [l] 1600 / 1435 / 1067 mm (5 ft 3 / 4 ft 8 1 / 2 / 3 ft 6 in). A six-rail triple-gauge turntable.

  9. Gauntlet track - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauntlet_track

    At the border with Sweden where the Torne separates the cities of Tornio, Finland and Haparanda, Sweden, a two-kilometre section of dual gauge track uses a gauntlet configuration because the 1,524 mm (5 ft) gauge used in Finland and 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) standard gauge used in Sweden are too close for a common rail to be shared.
