Introduction
| In rail transport, <trackGauge> is the distance between the two rails of a railway <track>. All <vehicles> on a rail <network> must have wheelsets that are compatible with the <trackGauge>. Since many different <trackGauges> exist worldwide, gauge differences often present a barrier to wider operation on railway <networks>[1].
Not to be confused with <loadingGauge>. |

Best Practice / Examples
 |
In Chop_railway_station ( ) some tracks have Dual_gauge ()
|
Below an example of modeling of Dual_gauge () is given.
<trackGauge id="trg01" value="1435">
<linearLocation id="trg01_lloc01" applicationDirection="both">
<associatedNetElement netElementRef="ne_a11">
<geometricCoordinateBegin positioningSystemRef="gps01" x="48.43370" y="22.21180"/>
<geometricCoordinateEnd positioningSystemRef="gps01" x="48.43369" y="22.21368"/>
</associatedNetElement>
</linearLocation>
</trackGauge>
<trackGauge id="trg01" value="1520">
<linearLocation id="trg01_lloc01" applicationDirection="both">
<associatedNetElement netElementRef="ne_a11">
<geometricCoordinateBegin positioningSystemRef="gps01" x="48.43370" y="22.21180"/>
<geometricCoordinateEnd positioningSystemRef="gps01" x="48.43369" y="22.21368"/>
</associatedNetElement>
