«Rail gauge in North America: Russian gauge vs. standard gauge. During the initial period of railroad building, standard gauge was adopted in most of the north-eastern United States, while the wider gauge later called „Russian“ was preferred in most of the southern states. In 1886, the southern railroads agreed to coordinate changing gauge on all their tracks. Over a period of 36 hours, tens of thousands of workers pulled the spikes from the west rail of all the broad gauge lines in the South, moved them 3 in (76 mm) east and spiked them back in place[dubious — discuss]. By June 1886, all major railroads in North America were using approximately the same gauge.» что ж вы с английского вики то не перевели?
