Actually, it wasn't that obvious after all .... !
Vatican City it is - 0.3km! Monaco has over 1km as the tunnel runs on their side of the border for quite a bit.In that case I'll take Vatican City!
Was it 44003?I hardly feel worthy, but here is a question with 10 possible answers:
Which was the first Class 44 to be withdrawn?
It certainly was! Withdrawn in July 76 and cut up the following month.Was it 44003?
Oh I completely forgot to check back on this and I’m too flustered to think of a question now!It certainly was! Withdrawn in July 76 and cut up the following month.
Your floor...
You are so close I think I should give you it. The gauge used now is actually 1495 mm (4ft 10 7/8in) but it seems that some of the early lines were indeed 4ft 11in and some 4ft 10 3/4in. The reasons why seem pretty obscure - some say that it was to prevent main line freight from using the streetcar network. Others that it was something to do with allowing horse drawn road waggons to use the track, which in the 1860s when the first horse-drawn tram line was built was a form of step-rail, a bit like a plateway but with the trams using flanged wheels running on the vertical leg of the angle section.It's slightly wider than standard gauge, but narrower than Russian gauge. I'll guess 4ft 11in
It is not the normal gauge for this country - just one lineIs it a former British colony?
There used to be one in the Isle of Man.It is not the normal gauge for this country - just one line
No. Not that one.Could it be the Oberweissbacher Bergbahn?
