For ridable miniature railways and minimum gauge railways, the gauges are overlapping. There are also some extreme narrow gauge railways listed. See: [[Minimum gauge railway#Distinction between a ridable miniature railway and a minimum gauge railway|Distinction between a ridable miniature railway and a minimum gauge railway]] for clarification.

|Now working on 36 km out of Asuncion, as a tourist steam line; also on 5 km from Encarnacion to the border with the Argentine, carrying mainly exported soy; the rest of the 441 km of the line awaits its fate, while redevelopment plans come and go with regularity. The section from West of Encarnación to North of San Salvador and the complete San Salvador - Abaí branch have been dismantled by the railway itself to get funds through selling scrap.

==Medium gauge railways, by gauge and country==

Medium gauge railways are [[narrow gauge railway]]s of approximately {{RailGauge|42}} gauge and above. Although technically narrow gauge these railways are often built to substantial standards allowing much higher train speeds and capacity than narrow gauge lines of a smaller gauge.

| The gauge 1,067 mm was invented by C A Piehl and the first line was opened 1861. The nickname CAP-gauge is from his initals. There is a missunderstanding that CAP-gauge (Cape-gauge) is named after the [[Cape Province]] in South Africa. A number of main lines were in the 19th century built with {{RailGauge|42}}, later rebuilt to [[Standard gauge|normal gauge]]. Also some secondary railways. One is operated (about 8 km) as a [[Heritage railway|museum railway]], the [[Setesdalsbanen]].

Minimum and ridable miniature railways

[edit]
Main articles: Minimum-gauge railway and Ridable miniature railway

For ridable miniature railways and minimum gauge railways, the gauges are overlapping. There are also some extreme narrow gauge railways listed. See: Distinction between a ridable miniature railway and a minimum gauge railway for clarification.

Model railway gauges are covered in rail transport modelling scales.
