This gauge is mostly used for light urban rail networks, industrial and agricultural railways. In Sweden, there was an extensive network of railways with 891 mm ( 2 ft 11 + 3 ⁄ 32 in ) track, some of them remain. This close enough to 900 mm ( 2 ft 11 + 7 ⁄ 16 in ) that they are more or less compatible, and some sales of rolling stock between
