<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="carnej1"] <P> This is the latest of several threads where there has been debate about the adequacy and inadequacy of standard gauge particularly in North America...and again I'm struck by the position some have that articulated, doublestack well cars, multilevel vehicle carriers (autoracks) and 286,000 lbs. gross bulk cars are in some way "too small"....I don't know how, objectively, one can talk about an "ideal gauge" and I'm sure a civil engineer would not look at it this way...Loading gauge is what is important in the real world...</P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P><FONT face=verdana,geneva>But loading gage has a relationship with track gage. They are not independent of each other.</FONT></P>
