Trains I think they are pretty interesting. they are big, powerful, and loud, but not just the machinery fun the infrastructure is also really interesting I mean the tracks there are so many train gauges there is the Stephenson gauge which is used most places like Europe except Spain and Russia. So the Stephenson gauge is 1435 mm nice. But why is it 1435 mm exactly? I wasn't able to find an explanation for that but I find a few very interesting explanations that could be true.
So the most answer I find to the question "Why is the Stephenson gauge is 1435mm apart "seems to say because Stephenson used this gauge. But why? Seems that the wagon manufacturers in England that time produce that big of wagons because they were made to fits in the old English roads.
The other explanation is was because that was the Roman Chariot
So basically we use that gauge because that's wide enough for 2 horses to fit between it very modern.
How this track is made is more interesting.
Itss made by a BIG F***ing machine. I mean a really big one

It can lay 200 m track in each hour and it can operate 2 km per day without refueling or needing to resupply this thing
Its the ru800 s
Its made by Plasser & Theurer . In Austria.
NICE
Thanks to join me along.
