Quite a few states (e.g. New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Ohio, Indiana) had two gauges within their borders, while Pennsylvania had three – 1435 mm, 1473 mm and 1829 mm (see Erie Gauge War, below).

By 1861, around twenty major trunk railways were in operation (excluding the Great Western, which was primarily Canadian – see Canada below), as well as over 100 smaller lines. The major ones are listed according to their main gauges during or before 1861 (a few of these railways operated more than one gauge – for example, the Illinois Central operated extensive route distances of both 1435 and 1524 mm gauges):
