We've been thru this before, but, as someone said, basics bear repeating for
new-comers. (We are getting new-comers in S all the time, aren't we.)
The following countries or parts of countries have or had 3½ foot gauge.
NB: this is NOT meter gauge.
Japan (except the High-speed "bullet" train network.)
New Zealand
Formosa (Oops, I mean Taiwan)
South Africa & adjoining countries
Newfoundland, part of CN, gone now (the track, not the province)
Australia - which also has a standard gauge and a broad gauge network.
And there are or were probably lots of other scattered examples around the
world. (Denver streetcar lines?)
