This is my website about what I believe to be the three most important periods of time in American railroading. Come take a look at my (hopefully) functioning website and learn about American Railroading.

In most of America, we use standard gauge, which is four feet, eight and a half inches between the rails, although there are still some narrow gauge lines, but these are heritage lines operating locomotives to preserve them, not revenue lines bringing in a profit. The reasons for this is the cost of transferring cargo between cars of different gauges, and the lack of ability to just roll a car from one line to another.
