The dimensions of a railroad track are not hard to find. Railroad track
rails are 6 5/8" tall, the top flange is 2 and 22/32" and the bottom
flange is 5 and ?? inches. If you are picturing the capital letter ' I '
in your mind, you are on the right track. The upper portion of the rail
is only 5/8 inches thick. Now the track width in the United States and
Europe is 4' 8 1/2", or 1.435 meters.
Standard gauge in North America is 4' 8 1/2", measured between the inside edges of the rails.
