    Unknown.

  • where did the train come from ?

  • @bluecomet390

    Standard gauge is 4' 8 1/2" (common in the USA and England), broad gauge is 5' 3". Victoria still has an extensive broad gauge network. Every now and then someone tries to send a broad gauge train down the standard gague tracks (or vice versa) leading to some embarrasing derailments.

  • How does broad gauge differ from standard gauge?
