Medium gauge railways, by gauge and country

Medium gauge railways are narrow gauge railways of approximately 3 ft 6 in
(1,067 mm) gauge and above. Although technically narrow gauge these railways are
often built to substantial standards allowing much higher train speeds and capacity than
narrow gauge lines of a smaller gauge.

is a missunderstandment that CAP-gauge is
named after the province i South Africa. A

Hola Héctor, Daniel, y amigos:

Aca tenes mas info : http://parovoz.com/spravka/ gauges-en.php

creo que hay que aclarar algo. Cuando se habla de F.A.F. ( Ferrocarril Austral Fueguino )
enseguida se relaciona con el Tren del Presidio. Muy bien, hasta acá todo en orden por que el
F A F recorre parte del antiguo tendido. El tema se presenta cuando se habla de trocha El F A
F como se indicó , es de 50 cm pero el viejo o primitivo Tren de Presidio era de 60 cm Ojo con
este tema, por que muchos piensan que es lo mismo.

Sobre el Decauville El primer tren decauville que se usó , inventado por Paul Decauville para
sacar remolacha de su campo en épocas de lluvia ( de ahí que hubo que buscar una solución
rápida para no perder la cosecha ) fue de 400 mm ( 15 3/4 ) después pasó a 500 mm ( 1ft 7 3/4
in. ) para luego quedar en los conocidos mundialmente 600 mm ( 1 ft 11 1/2 in. ) ( y como dato
extra le fue tan bien con este " invento " que se tiró a fabricar autos , pero esto no solo es otra
historia si no que muy bien no le fué )
Que recuerde ahora , los mas famosos del país Tren de la Selva , en Cataratas, y el tren del
Parque de la Ciudad, el del parque Avellaneda , del zoológico y del Correntino, estos tres
últimos , ya desaparecidos

El del Ferroclub Argentino sede Escalada es de 260 mm ( 10" 1/4 ) y el de Pablo Jäckel en
Merlo - San Luis también.

saludos

Ernesto
