3' gauge.  When the Uintah ordered their 2-6-6-2T's, Baldwin built a test
track at the factory with the specified curve to check them out.  There are
pictures of one of them on the test track and the front end overhung like on
a model railroad.  The curves were supposedly sharper before they ordered
those engines, but they straightened them somewhat.

   Wow, that's only 75 feet, getting down into trolley territory. Is the
Unitah narrow gauge or standard gauge? The 90 foot curves I mentioned were
