   The standard gauge (also called the Stephenson gauge after George Stephenson, or normal gauge) is a popular rail gauge. About 60% of the world's current railway lines use this gauge. The distance between the inside edges of the rails of standard gauge track is 1,435 mm ( 4 ft in ).

   Why was gauge standardized in 1846?

   • As a result, there was a push to standardize the gauge used for rail transportation. In 1846, the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed the Gauge Act, which mandated that all new railway lines in the country had to be built to a standard gauge of 4 feet 8.5 inches.

   What gauge should a railway be?

   • The subsequent Gauge Act ruled that new passenger-carrying railways in Great Britain should be built to a standard gauge of 4 ft 81⁄2 in ( 1,435 mm ), and those in Ireland to a new standard gauge of 5 ft 3 in ( 1,600 mm ).

   Rail gauge is the distance from the inside of one rail on a railroad track to the inside of the other. Most tracks use a standard gauge of 1,435 mm (4 ft, 8 1/2 in). Wider gauges are called broad gauge (1676mm), smaller gauges are called narrow gauge (762mm or 610mm).
