*LOL* Patrish!

Though didnt it used to be the case that in the US, because there were so many different companies running Railways when they first began to span the US (I've heard that even during the Civil war there were many variations in Guage) - though in UK many different companies also 'shared' the rail network, & were responsible for their own track (unlike the stupid system we have at the present moment). I've only heard tell of the US situation though....dunno about the UK having probs like that at all.

Anyone know how true this is?
