Описание к видео Brunel's Broad Gauge, The Didcot Railway Centre, Oxfordshire

Brunel's Broad Gauge was 7ft 0 1/4in compared to Standard Gauge at 4ft 8 1/2in. He also used bridge rails and baulk track so many functional differences existed. By 1892 all Broad Gauge had been converted to Standard Gauge. The Atmospheric Railway that used a vacuum rather than a locomotive proved to be a costly failure.
It turns out that a couple of British built Broad Gauge locomotives survive in the Azores where they were used to transport stone from a quarry. They are currently (2020) in storage.
