 * Standard gauge. Slambo (Speak) 15:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I find it a little segregating. Does this mean railways of other gauges must manage their own infoboxes? is there anything wrong with an infobox for all railway companies? - Two hundred percent 04:06, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Hit edit and look at the code; it's basically a "transparent" pass-through of template:infobox rail. --NE2 04:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Nuts. I must have missed it in the categories. - Two hundred percent 06:53, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Metric prominence
I made the metric units prominent of the gauge size as

"...The eventual result was the adoption throughout a large part of the world..."

and most of the world uses SI. Samy23 04:25, 20 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I reverted, since the origin of standard gauge is from feet and inches. This is thus the original measurement ("If editors cannot agree about the sequence of units, put the source value first and the converted value second.") and should be first. But if you want to put metric first (for countries that use metric in designing rail lines and equipment), I changed the template so you can simply put |metric=1 in the infobox code. --NE2 04:49, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
