High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Most railways in Europe use the standard gauge of 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1?2 in). Some countries use broad gauge, of which there are three types. Narrow gauges also exist. Apart from Russia and Finland, all high-speed trains in Europe run on standard gauge (1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1?2 in)) tracks. The standard gauge (also named the Stephenson gauge after George Stephenson, or Normal gauge) is a widely-used rail gauge. Approximately 60% of the world's existing railway lines are built to this gauge (see the list of countries that use the standard gauge). The distance between the inside edges of the rails of standard gauge track is 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1?2 in).
