Also Roman roads were paved so there wouldn't be much in the way of wheel ruts. The Romans, unlike the DOT, built their roads to last. But it could well be true. Stranger things have happened. (Russian rail gauge is wider, perhaps because they used the troika. Heh.)<br /><br />Did get a chuckle from that post though.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-45944766082072509492015-09-18T06:07:10.463-07:002015-09-18T06:07:10.463-07:00Happy Birthday!
