Metre gauge in Peru?

[edit]

1,000 mm (3 ft 3+38 in)? Really? Should it not read 914 mm (3 ft)? See rail transport in Peru and PeruRail. Peter Horn User talk 00:05, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I didnt measure the tracks when I was there but was definitly small track. If the sources say 914 mm I accept that.Smiley.toerist (talk) 07:29, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I used your file in dual gauge. Peter Horn User talk 18:23, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh darn...

[edit]

I was at the other end of the line in Aguas Calientes a few years back. The line comes to an unceremonious end behind the town. I never thought to take a picture of it, and now I regret that. I do recall a superb climbing trail starting right there. I also recall the climb out of Cuzco, which required a number of switchbacks. Maury Markowitz (talk) 21:31, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
