عرض ریل, گاژ

the distance between the inner sides of the two parallel rails of a track

What is "gauge"?

Gauge refers to the distance between the inner edges of the two rails on a railway track. It is an important measurement because it determines how wide or narrow the track is, affecting the type of trains that can safely travel on it. The standard gauge, which is the most common worldwide, measures 143.5 centimeters, or 4 feet 8 ½ inches, between the rails. Different regions or rail systems may use wider or narrower gauges depending on their specific needs, with broader gauges providing more stability and allowing for heavier trains. Gauge is a key factor in ensuring proper track and train compatibility.

Example

The standard gauge is widely used in many countries.

She learned about the different gauge measurements in rail systems.

They adjusted the tracks to match the narrow gauge.
