Narrow Gauge Railways

Narrow gauge railways are train systems that use tracks with a narrower width between rails than standard gauge. This allows for tighter curves, steeper gradients, and generally cheaper construction, making them ideal for rugged or limited spaces such as mountains, mines, or rural areas. While they may have lower speeds and capacity compared to standard gauge railways, narrow gauge lines are often more economical and easier to build in challenging terrain. They remain valuable for specific uses like industrial freight, heritage tourism, and regional connections where their flexibility and reduced costs are advantageous.
