Dale,

I think you are correct. The San Carlos sugar lines that were still operating in the 1980's were 60cm and 42" gauge. Roy Christian reports that the sugar mill at Valdez was 3' gauge. "Railways of South America" lists the Santa Ana line as 75 cm, the Salinas line was standard gauge and the Puerto Bolivar line was 42" gauge, although it had been built to some other un-named gauge. The book merely states that when the G&Q took over operations, the gauge was changed to 42".
