Yep. While most, if not all of us just take 'standard' gauge (4'-8-1/2") for granted everywhere in North America (Canada, Mexico, United States), it wasn't always so standard. Nope. Watch this You Tube vid. It's only ten minutes, but full of new facts to discuss.

Was it the chariots that set the standard?
Good question.
