Detailed Solution

The railway gauge with a track width of 1.676 m is called a Broad gauge. Indian railways have three types of gauges in different parts of the country - narrow gauges, metre gauges, and broad gauges. The term gauge refers to the distance between the two rails, and the gauges laid in an area depend on physical factors like terrain and population density. A broad gauge refers to a track with a width of 1.676 m, slightly wider than the standard or metre gauge having a 1 m width.
