The US standard railroad llth 9.ooa.m. Easter Communion gauge, distance between the rails, is 4 feet 8.5 inches, an odd 181h 6.oop.m. Evening Prayer measurement. Why was that gauge used? Because that's the 25th 9.ooa.m. BCP Communion way they built them in England, and our ex-pats built the US Railroads. Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the trams and tracks to that gauge. Why did "they" use that Maunday Thursday Special gauge? Because they used the same jigs and tools that they used for building road wagons, which used that wheel spacing. 7.30 p.m. April 8" Okay! Why did the wagons have that particular wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels Passover Meal with Communion would break on the old, long distance roads in England, because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts. So who built those old rutted roads? lmperial Rome built the first long At the Old Chapel Inn, St Ann's distance roads in Europe and England for their legions which (ex Pickwick) have been used ever since. The ruts in the roads caused by Roman war chariots, the wheel spacing which everyone else Chicken Soup & Matzot Bread had to match else destroy their own wheels. Allchariots made Raast Lamb for lmperial Rome, had the same wheel spacing. The U.S.A. Pached Pear& Chocolate Sauce standard railroad gauge goes back to the original specifications Glass of l4line or other drinJt for an lmperial Roman war chariot. Why were Roman Chariots Collee & Mina that wide? Easy peasy the lmperial Roman war chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the back ends of two horses.
