Answer:
Answer:
The gauge of the railway track is a clear minimum vertical distance between the inner sides of two tracks is called railway gauge. That is, the distance between the two tracks on any railway route is known as railway gauge. Approximately sixty percent of the world's railway uses standard gauge of 1,435 mm. There are 4 types of railway gauge used in India. Broad gauge, Metre Gauge, Narrow gauge and Standard gauge (for Delhi Metro). Let's study them.
Broad Gauge
Broad gauge is also called wide gauge or large line. The distance between the two tracks in these railway gauges is 1676 mm (5 ft 6 in).
Standard Gauge
The distance between the two tracks in this railway gauge is 1435 mm (4 ft 8½ in).
Metre Gauge
The distance between the two tracks is 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3/8 in). The metre gauge lines were made to reduce the cost.
Narrow Gauge
The small gauge is called a Narrow gauge or a small line. The narrow-gauge railway is the railway track, in which distance between two tracks is 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) and 2 ft (610 mm).
