The standard gauge (also Stephenson gauge after George Stephenson, International gauge, or normal gauge) is a widely used railway track gauge. Approximately 55% of the lines in the world are this gauge (see the list of standard gauge usages). All high-speed raillines (except those in Russia, Uzbekistan, India, and Finland) are standard gauge. The distance between the inside edges of the rails is defined to be 1,435 millimetres (4 ft 8 ¹⁄₂ in) (except in the United States and Canada, where it is still defined in imperial units as 4 feet 8 ¹⁄₂ inches (1,435.1 mm)). It is also called the UIC gauge or UIC track gauge, the European gauge in the EU and Russia or uniform gauge in Queensland.

Personally, I prefer Brunel's broad gauge of 7ft&1/4inch. This lasted on the Great Western region until 1892. Can you believe that the gauge was changed in 1892 in a single weekend?
