The answer here is amazingly simple.
Sionce when are UNITED STATES railroad sizes the standard at all? Yes it's true about how the US standard has evolved (according to out friend I T MAN, thank you!) But the reality is that the european railway size was definitely influenced by the size of two horses. Interstingly I t Man has been devious in a small way in the information he provided... There are differences of opinion about how wide a horses ares is. The three gauges of railroad mentioned in the article were within 4 inches of width of each other. THEY WERe ALL STILL influenced by the percieved size of the width of a horse cart. For me ... being within 4 or even six inches is enough to say that ASDF's story is true. Thanks for the opportunity to comment
