幸运的143.5厘米（Lucky 143.5 centimeters） When I was in elementary and high school, my family was very close to sugar trains, trains and railways. I saw my classmates taking trains every day from all the villages and towns. After 40 years, they were still fresh in my mind. At that time, I knew that the platform of the sugar train was smaller than the platform iron and the tracks were narrow.

The matter dragged into early 2001, and I read the Douglas Puffert (2000) paper before I made the whole thing clear.

I am from Wikipedia (Wikipedia) check gauge, get a lot of figures. International standard rail is 143.5 cm, now most of the European countries are using the standard gauge, exceptions: Ireland an
