The TSI Rolling Stock (2002/735/EC) has taken over the UIC Gauges definitions defining Kinematic Gauges with a reference profile such that Gauges GA and GB have a height of 4.35 m (14 ft 3 in) (they differ in shape) with Gauge GC rising to 4.70 m (15 ft 5 in) allowing for a width of 3.08 m (10 ft 1 in) of the flat roof.

Eventually the 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) gauge won the battle, and became the standard gauge, with the term 'narrow gauge' henceforth used for gauges narrower than the new standard. As of 2017 [update] , about 60% of the world's railways use a gauge of 1,435 mm ( 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in ), known as standard or international gauge [ 43 ] [ 44 ...
The Portland Company was formed to build locomotives of this gauge for use on the local rail system.

The traditional form of grooved rail is the girder guard section illustrated to the left. This rail is a modified form of flanged rail and requires a special mounting for weight transfer and gauge stabilisation. If the weight is carried by the roadway subsurface, steel ties are needed at regular intervals to maintain the gauge.
Baldwin added Mallet locomotives to their catalog before World War I, both in standard gauge and narrow gauge, and in both tank and tender versions. [55] They continued to produce small lots for logging railroads in the Western US until the 1930s. These were generally standard gauge 2-6-6-2 tank engines, either being saddle tanks or pannier tanks.
