Rail Gauge
1. MEASURE TRACK GAUGE MEASURE TRACK GAUGE 56-1/2 ( 1-3/4 TO – 1-1/2 INCHES) INCREMENTS OF 1/16 FOR CRITICAL CHECKS. Simply set wide end (fixed end) of gauge on one rail and slew gauge to left and right to verify contact points are flush to rail. Lower between rails. Next with one hand, grab handle and lightly put fixed end of gauge against rail and hold. Next with the other hand, side the black knob towards gauge rail until contact. Finally, release and read measurement.
2. MEASURE GUARD CHECK GAUGE. MEASURE FROM 53-3/4″ TO 56-5/16″. Simply set wide end (fixed end) of gauge on frog gauge line and slew gauge to left and right to verify contact points are flush to rail. Lower narrow end between guard rail and running rail. Next with one hand, grab handle and lightly push fixed end of gauge against frog and hold. Next with the other and, slide the black knob back to contact guard rail. Finally, release and read measurement. *The distance between the gauge line of a frog to the guard line of its guard rail or guarding face is measured across the track at right angles to the guard line.
