Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Sidebar track gauge
Two foot and 600 mm gauge railways are narrow gauge railways with track gauges of Шаблон:RailGauge and Шаблон:RailGauge, respectively. Railways with similar, less common track gauges, such as Шаблон:RailGauge and Шаблон:RailGauge, are grouped with 2 ft and 600 mm gauge railways.
Overview
Most of these lines are tourist lines, which are often heritage railways or industrial lines, such as the Ffestiniog Railway in Wales and the Cripple Creek and Victor Narrow Gauge Railroad in Colorado.
World War I trench railways produced the greatest concentration of Шаблон:RailGauge gauge railways to date. In preparation for World War II, the French Maginot Line and Alpine Line also used Шаблон:RailGauge gauge railways for supply routes to the fixed border defenses.
Australia has over Шаблон:Convert of Шаблон:RailGauge gauge sugar cane railway networks in the coastal areas of Queensland, which carry more than 30 million tonnes of sugarcane a year.
Many Шаблон:RailGauge gauge and Шаблон:RailGauge gauge railways are used in amusement parks and theme parks worldwide.
Exchange of rolling stock
The interchange of rolling stock between these similar track gauges occasionally occurred; for example, the South African Class NG15 2-8-2 locomotives started their career on the Шаблон:RailGauge gauge. The Otavi Mining and Railway Company in South West Africa (now Namibia) were transferred to the 2 ft gauge railways in South Africa and currently some surviving locomotives reside in Wales on the Шаблон:RailGauge gauge Welsh Highland Railway and the Шаблон:RailGauge gauge Brecon Mountain Railway.
