Axle and wheel track are commonly measured in millimetres or inches.
[5] In the railroad industry, the term "axle track" is not used; the same concept is called "flange gauge" or "wheel gauge".
It is measured on a wheelset of a railroad car or tram from one wheel flange reference line to the reference line of the other wheel.
[6] The maximum and minimum limits to the differences between the two gauges are usually 111⁄32" and 3⁄8" (9–35 mm).
