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.
There are few narrow gauge US railroads still in operation. Some have been converted to the standard railroad system. Others have been dismantled and turned into scrap.
