Template:Short description Template:Sidebar track gauge Script error: No such module "labelled list hatnote". Most railways in Europe use the standard gauge of Template:RailGauge. Some countries use broad gauge, of which there are three types. Narrow gauges are also in use.
Broad gauge
- Russian and 5 ft gauge
- (The difference is within tolerance limits, so it is possible to exchange trains between 1520 mm and 1524 mm networks without changes to the wheelsets, however sometimes issues like stuck rolling stock might occur.)
- Irish gauge
- Iberian gauge
Narrow gauge
