The old Vulcan Iron Works in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. had similar multi-gauge track in its shops, ranging, I believe from 24-inch through standard gauge, including 30-, 36-, 42- and perhaps 48-inch gauges. Last I knew, at least some of the Vulcan buildings still stood along South Main Street. While mostly known for its small industrial steam locomotives, the last steam engines built by Vulcan were 2-10-0's for Turkish State Railways around 1950 or 51.
