Narrow Gauge Tracks Prove Uneconomic

Even though narrow gauge railroads were inexpensive to build, off loading and on loading became too much of an expense for most railroads around the US. Each time a narrow gauge railroad met a standard railroad, shipments would have to be unloaded and reloaded.
