I just double-checked and confirmed that the track guages are:

Pittsburgh - 5' 2-1/2"

Philadelphia (PTC) - 5' 2-1/4"

I believe that the 1/4" difference can affect tracking and rail wear.

Isn't there a fraction of an inch difference in the Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia gauges?

  Anyone want a PTC badge with a PCC on it?  At least the PTC gauge is
the same as Pittsburgh.
