Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Erie Gauge War was a conflict between the citizens of Erie, Pennsylvania, and two railroad companies over the standardization of the rail gauge between Erie and the New York border. It started on December 7, 1853, and ended on February 1, 1854. In 1849, the Erie and North East Railroad started laying track east from Erie to the New York-Pennsylvania border at a gauge of 6 ft. At the same time, the Franklin Canal Company was laying track west from Erie to the Ohio-Pennsylvania border and the Buffalo and State Line Railroad was laying track from Buffalo to the New York border, both were at a gauge of 4 ft 10 in.
