@catoutofbed a googled this and In "1871 no less than 23 different gauges existed in the United States, ranging in width from three to six feet"
3 foot rail road
@catoutofbed ALSO im amused that they changed their gauges from 5 to 4 foot 9 inches, which is still half an inch off from the standard of 4 foot 8.5
@Daylight yeah we uh
we didn't standardize as early as the uk
