Track gauge in the United States. Originally, various track gauges were used in the United States. Some railways, primarily in the northeast, used standard gauge of 4 ft in ( 1,435 mm ); others used gauges ranging from 2 ft ( 610 mm) to 6 ft ( 1,829 mm ).
About three-fifths of the rail trackage in the world is the so-called standard gauge of 4 feet 8.5 inches (1.4 m), which originated with George Stephenson’s pioneer Liverpool & Manchester line in 1829. It was exported from Britain to Europe and the United States with the export of British locomotives built to it.
