How fast can you re-gauge YOUR track?

11,500 miles of track re-gauged........ in 36 hours.

That was interesting. I don't think I could change my gauge in 36 hours.

Vewy interwesting, I wonder how a picture of an NZR Ja #1271 and train from the 1940's or so, got in @ 6:36-6:40mins?

I don't think I would want to do that.

It got up to 88 MPH and the flux capacitor kicked in.

Downhill with a following wind.

Hahaha, I see what you did there. Let me guess, Marty was the fireman with Doc as the engineer....

Thanks. I spent, like, an hour just mesmerized by watching this guy's videos.

I wonder how many derailments they suffered in the first few days/weeks following?

The English Great Western Railway narrowed their remaining 7 foot 1/4 inch trackage to standard gauge in 72 hours on Friday 20th May 1892. Over 3,500 workers took up positions alongside the main railway line running from Exeter to Falmouth. They spent the weekend moving one of the rails 2 feet 3 ½ inches closer to the other rail. This changed the track from ‘Broad Gauge’ to ‘Standard Gauge’.
