Can you use 16 gauge wire for 240?
No, you will need a minimum of at least AWG #12 and you may need even bigger depending on the Amps required to run whatever you are using.
What are meter gauge and broad gauge railway tracks?
Meter gauge tracks are one meter or 39.4 inches apart. Standard gauge rails are 4 feet 8 and one half inches apart. Broad gauge is 5 feet between the rails. Most USA railroads use standard gauge although Broad gauge was common in the American South before the Civil War. It is still common in many parts of Russia.

What would be the problem if railway tracks are not parallel lines?
If the tracks are not parallel, the wheels will not stay on the tracks; train wheels are spaced at a fixed width, or gauge, and that width cannot expand or contract to accommodate non-parallel tracks. Thus, if the tracks were non-parallel, the wheel would come off the track and cause a derailment.
Do streetcars ride on train tracks?
Yes.Streetcars (more commonly known as trams or Light Rail) use the same sort of tracks as normal trains. The only difference is that when they are running along streets the tracks are recessed into the road surface so that other vehicles can use the same road.There are some cases where trams share the same tracks with normal trains (suburban, intercity, freight), then when they get into the city they run in the streets so passengers can get nearer to their final destinations. These are called 'Tram-Trains'.One restriction is that in some cities the trams use tracks that are a different gauge (distance between the rails) to normal railways. Narrow gauge allows the trams to go around tighter corners - useful in a city. This is the case in the city where I live where the trams are 'metre gauge' (1 metre or 1000 mm between the tracks) instead of the standard gauge of 1435 mm.
The width between between two railroad tracks?
Is the gauge not to confused with the "loading gauge" which is the height and width of a vehicle above the rails. Standard rail gauge is 4ft 8.5ins (1.435m) as used in Europe, the US, Canada, North Africa and Australia
