Later, two even narrower gauges (2' and 2' 6") were allowed to be used for feeder lines.
====Standard Gauge(SG)====
Although this 4 ft 8 1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) gauge was the most usual throughout the world it was not adopted in India. There was an exceptionwere two exceptions:-*'''[[Yamuna River, Okhla Canal Construction Tramway]]''' used from 1869 to 1874 to build the headworks from the Yamuna River at Okhla. It was Standard Gauge tramway used to carry stone.
*'''[[Calcutta Tramways Company]]''' adopted the Standard Gauge on its electric tramcars from 1900 onwards, on conversion from the MG horse drawn tram system.
=====Unique rail Gauges=====
*'''[[Nalhati-Azimganj Railway]]''', the original name for the [[Indian Branch Railway]]; constructed in 1863 used a 4ft(1222cm) gauge, later converted to BG.

Despite four Commissions of Inquiry, the GoI did little te resolve the continuing problem of transhipment wherever there was a break-of-gauge.
