Sepur standar
Sepur standar (juga sepur Stephenson yang mengambil nama dari George Stephenson, sepur internasional, atau sepur normal) adalah sebuah lebar jalur kereta api yang banyak digunakan. Sekitar 55% jalur di dunia adalah sebuah sepur. Seluruh jalur rel berkecepatan tinggi (kecuali di Rusia, Uzbekistan, India, dan Finlandia) adalah sepur standar. Jalur tersebut juga disebut sepur UIC atau sepur trek UIC,[1][2][3] sepur Eropa di UE[4] dan Rusia,[5] atau sepur seragam di Queensland. Di Indonesia dewasa ini tidak digunakan sepur standar.
