A gauge other than standard gauge means you can't use standard engines or cars for maintenance (ballast trains for PROW, or materials.) I see no advantage what so ever in using a "custom gauge." <br />There are a number of examples where surface transit shares trackage with freight operators. There's no alternative to standard. If one went with narrow gauge under the pretext of less real estate used, you would have to carry narrow gauge passengers in skinny cars to make that viable. this would preclude my sizable aunt, Gina Lolla Silverman, from riding. A very wide car, say 15' wide, would need more doors to load and unload the extra folks. The guy stuck in the middle of such a car, during rush hour, would have quite the struggle exiting the car. <br /> <br />Mitch
