Elementary, Mr. Watson A Designer's Dilemma—Metric or Imperial Units?

They chose their track widths (gauges) with no set standard. Some tracks were about four feet wide, with others at five or even six feet.

Often, trains had to stop at the state line for all their goods and passengers to switch trains, which cost extra time and money.
