Narrow gauge.<\/p>\n<p>Narrow gauge is a type of railway track with a track gauge of less than 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1\u00e2\u0081\u00842 in), the standard gauge used in most of the world. Narrow gauge railways are often used in hilly areas because they are more flexible and can be built on steeper gradients than standard gauge railways.<\/p>\n<p>Broad gauge is a type of railway track with a track gauge of more than 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1\u00e2\u0081\u00842 in).
