[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jarubel According to the FRA Track Safety Standards. These are the minimums and maximums. Class 1 ....................4' 8" to 4' 10" Class 2 and 3..........4' 8" to 4' 9-3/4" Class 4 and 5..........4' 8" to 4' 9-1/2" Excepted track..........up to 4' 10-1/4" [/quote] For those of you that may be interested in verifying this, this comes from US CFR Title 49 Part 213 Section 53, available online at http://FRWebGate.Access.GPO.gov/cgi-bin/get-cfr.cgi?TITLE=49&PART=213&SECTION=53&TYPE=TEXT Excepted-class trackage makes up a good percentage of the track on my shortline railroad that I work for, and I can personally vouch that trains will safely traverse the 4' 10.25" guage, although such pieces of track are restricted by Form A to "Walking Speed" (a.k.a. about 3 or 4 MPH) for good reason.
