Broad gauge lines were gradually converted to dual gauge or standard gauge from 1864, and finally the last of Brunel's broad gauge was converted in 1892.
Eventually, the broad gauge came to be the most prevalent gauge across the Indian subcontinent, reaching right across from Iran to Burma and Kashmir to Tamil Nadu.
Although broad gauge was and is quite rare on lighter railways and street tramways, many Russian tramways were and are also built to broad gauge.

 The Mavens' Word of the Day
I occasionally hear the word broad still used to refer to women, and I'm always offended, but it occurred to me that I had no idea what the origins of the term were.
Broad is derived from the far-fetched metaphor of 'meal ticket,' signifying a female provider for a pimp, from the fanciful correspondence of a meal ticket to a railroad or other ticket."
Nowadays, although the sexual innuendo has pretty much vanished from the meaning of broad, its use is still chiefly contemptuous, as exemplified by the fact that it's also prison slang for a man who plays the woman's role in homosexual sex.
