Rail gauge

This is the minimum boundary of the platform and maximum boundary of the rolling stock. It is a notion whose purpose is to define boundaries allowing the circulation of the rolling stock so that it does not encounter railway installation obstacles. It has a double concept: an obstacle gauge applied to the infrastructure and rolling stock gauge that refers to its housing. The rolling stock gauge should always be less than the infrastructure one (especially in tunnels, bridges and walls).
