Comparison of cross-sections of South Australian Railways vintage broad and narrow gauge passenger cars

Summary[edit]

Description
English: A drawing comparing the cross-sections of South Australian Railways broad and narrow gauge passenger cars at the turn of the 20th century. The diagram was prepared to illustrate how the broad-gauge car’s cross-sectional area is 50% larger than that of the narrow-gauge car, and that as a consequence, for every unit of car length, the broad-gauge car is able to carry 50% more volume than the narrow-gauge car – a significant advantage in the economics of rail transport.
Date
Source South Australian Railways official drawings -- pre-1925 (public domain). One has been traced on account of poor quality of original.
Author South Australian Railways; Hugh S. Williams.
