39ft, historically, unless it's CWT track (more modern high-speed rail continuous-welded-track).
there is track width (measured from mid rail to mid rail) and track gauge (measured from inside rail to inside rail. As that is the most important size of track, that is normally the distances referenced to. normal distance for track gauge is 1435 mm
Jointed track is made using lengths of rail, usually around 20 m (66 ft) long (in the UK) and 39 or 78 feet (11.9 or 23.8 m) long (in North America), bolted together using perforated steel plates known as fishplates (UK) or joint bars (North America).
Rail is weighed by the yard...( a yard is 3 feet or 36 inches) If you look at the rail and it says 154 on it then it is "154 pound rail". The lighter 138 pound rail is not as heavy duty as the 154 pound rail. There are many different rail weights. In order to "weigh" the rail you would have to see what pound rail you have then measure that by 3 feet then times that by how long the railroad track is that you are trying to weigh.

Rail gauge is the term used to measure the spacing of the rails on a railway track. This term is used in Australia. In the U.S., we use the term track gauge.
The distance between the rail line is one (1) metres apart
