Railway Gauge in YN?

[Sherechia]

Mention the width of rails used in your country, if you use multiple different gauges mention the most important/widespread ones.

For example:
Sherechia
1000mm (for everything else)
1435mm (exclusively for high speed passenger trains)

[Zhouran]

The National Rail Network uses the track gauge of 1,520 mm, which is referred to as the National Standard Gauge (Putonghua: 国家标准轨距), while both the National High-Speed Rail Network and National Metro Railway Network use 1,435 mm standard gauge instead. Zhouran's National Rapid Maglev Railway Network lacks any railway gauge just like with any other maglev.

hmm.. interesting how the high speed rail has a narrower gauge that the standard rail.

[Thermodolia]

Thermodolia uses a wide range of railway gauges. With 1,435mm and 1,000mm being the most common. Other gauges are 1,800mm, 1,067mm, 1,010mm, 760mm, 750mm, and 600mm

[Nolo gap]

30"(760mm) is the most common, for long distances, but we use lighter gauges to serve smaller traffic loads, and to provide more local service.
two footers (24"/600mm) are quite common, down to 18" (foot and a half).
even 7.5, hobbyist "hernia" gauge provides public transit service in some very small villages with mild climates.

in nolo gap we like thing just as small as they can be and still provide a useful function.

we also have very small form factor monorails of varying formats.

Zhouran's conventional railway network originates back to the mid-19th century. The government of the former Empire of Zhouran chose the 1,520 mm gauge simply because it was wider. Meanwhile, the country's high-speed rail and metro rail networks originated in the 1960s and the government of the People's Republic of Zhouran specifically chose 1,435 mm because it was narrower and saves a lot more space. Thus resulting two different gauge standards being used in Zhouran (the Civil Railway Administration prefers this gauge difference so that there would be an incentive in building dedicated high-speed tracks as well as create competition between the National Rail Network and National High-Speed Rail Network).

Quite a narrow gauge you've chosen. Is your country mountainous?

[Nacrad]

According to the Railways Act of 1933, Nacrad's railway gauge is 1,435 mm for all, except for existing railways and projects after this act approved by "relevant officials", in this case the Director of Transportation. As a result, most railway lines are in this gauge. However, due to lingering Japanese influence in Formosa, trains there apart from urban mass transit and high speed rail are still in the 1,067 mm Japanese gauge.

[Gandoor]

In the Democratic Republic, 1435 mm is legally recognized as the standard gauge for Gandoorese railways, with 1067 mm being recognized as the standard for narrow-gauge railways in Gandoor.

Approximately 89% of active non-heritage railways in the Democratic Republic use the 1435 mm gauge and 11% use the 1067 mm gauge. If you include heritage railways in the calculation, then 86% of all railways use the 1435 mm gauge and 14% use the 1067 mm gauge.

[Morrdh]

Standard rail gauge across the Commonwealth of Morrdh is 5'3" (1,600mm), this includes the mainline network and most branch lines.

Official narrow gauge used is 3ft (914mm) used in some areas, though especially clusters of islands, for a number of lines that are for the most part owned and operated by the state company Commonwealth Railways or ComRail for short. Smaller gauged networks exist, though these are self-contained within the confirms of an industrial site.

[Katzen]

The Freehold of Katzen uses a standard gauge of 1435mm. There is a whole 50km of railway in the form of a high speed rail line between the capitol and the nation's main airport.

[Aikoland]

Aikoland exclusively uses the standard gauge of 1435 mm for its railways.

[Great Nortend]

The Erbonian standard gauge railway network uses a 5′ gauge. However, this is not an Imperial five feet, but five Catherinian feet, which is equivalent to almost exactly 1,435 mm or 4′ 8½″.

[Republica Federal de Catalunya]

We use the international standard 1435mm with the few exceptions of 3 lines of mountain trains that use small track.

[The Koskr]

The Continental Rail Network of the Koškr possesses a standard rail gauge of 26ft(7924.8mm) designed for the titanic natively-used Košman trains, which are designed to be extremely high capacity, carrying thousands of passengers in one go. The standard wheel arrangement for Košman is 2-10-10-2(4-20-20-4 if the interior wheels are included), which is designed to provide the propulsion Košman require.

You do realize that just running longer and/or more frequent trains in standard gauge is easier, right? For reference, the IRL East Rail Line found in Hong Kong can transport some 100,000 per direction per hour with standard gauge, and one of those trains can carry at least 2,000 (even though it will be by no means pleasant then

Košman trains are also used to transport cargo as well. The sheer size and drive of Košman trains makes them extremely effective at carrying goods, including much of the heavy industrial products and machines the Koškr produce significent quantities of. The Koškr also prioritise efficienct use of resources. The massive capacity reduces the amount of trips that need to be performed, which saves fuel. Košman trains also often carry passengers and freight at the same time.

Idk man most countries that specialise in heavy manufacturing seem to do fine with either standard, Russian or Indian gauge, none of which are anywhere near 2 meters in gauge

THICC GAUGE

idk maybe his country is just really crowded. I have joined rps where people insist on cramming 10 billion people on a country that's smaller than India.

[Jolantia]

JoRail, the national rail operator of Jolantia, uses a gauge of 1524 mm. Local metro and light-rail systems may use other gauges like 1435 mm.

[Wochaystein]

1435 mm

[Hippie Kiwis]

We have traditionally used the 4' track gauge, but there is some regional variation in isolated territories

The Russians use large gauges because they used the railroad to carry their huge ass ICBMs.

[Sherechia]

Just FYI it is possible for a narrow gauge rail to perform as well as a standard gauge rail (carry long, heavy trains) shown by this extract from wikipedia

The heavy-duty 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow-gauge railways in Queensland, South Africa, and New Zealand demonstrate that if track is built to a heavy-duty standard, performance almost as good as a standard-gauge line is possible.

Two-hundred-car trains operate on the Sishen–Saldanha railway line in South Africa, and high-speed Tilt Trains run in Queensland. In South Africa and New Zealand, the loading gauge is similar to the restricted British loading gauge; in New Zealand, some British Rail Mark 2 carriages have been rebuilt with new bogies for use by Tranz Scenic (Wellington-Palmerston North service), Tranz Metro (Wellington-Masterton service), and Transdev Auckland (Auckland suburban services).

Another example of a heavy-duty narrow-gauge line is Brazil's EFVM. 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) gauge, it has over-100-pound rail (100 lb/yd or 49.6 kg/m) and a loading gauge almost as large as US non-excess-height lines. The line has a number of 4,000-horsepower (3,000 kW) locomotives and 200-plus-car trains.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrow-gauge_railway

So far the only thing that narrow gauge rail can't do is have high-speed trains, not that 200km/h "high speed" rail no I'm talking about proper 300km/h high-speed rail. One of the reasons why Sherechia has 2 rail gauges.
