Wikipedia
russian gauge
Railways with a railway track gauge of 5 ft (1,524 mm) first appeared in the United Kingdom and the United States. This gauge became commonly known as Russian gauge because the government of the Russian Empire later chose it in 1843 — former areas of the Empire have inherited this standard. In 1970, Soviet Railways re-defined the gauge as 1,520 mm (4 ft 11+27⁄32 in).With about 225,000 km (140,000 mi) of track, Russian gauge is the second-most common gauge in the world, after 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge.

Russian gauge
In railway terminology, Russian gauge refers to railway track with a gauge between 1,520 mm and 1,524 mm. In a narrow sense as defined by Russian Railways it refers to 1,520 mm gauge. The primary installed base of Russian gauge is across the states of the former Soviet Union, also Mongolia and Finland, representing ca. 225,000 km of track. The Russian gauge is the second most widely used gauge in the world—after 1,435 mm. Comparatively short sections of Russian-gauge railways also extend beyond the borders of the former USSR, Mongolia and Finland into Poland, eastern Slovakia, Sweden, and northern Afghanistan. There is an approximately 150 km long section in Hungary in the Záhony logistics area close to the Ukrainian border.
