Yes there are three kinds of railway lines
Gauge means the distance between two parallel tracks
1.Narrow Gauge: It generally cannot handle much weight,it is less costly to construct, particularly in mountainous regions. The width between the tracks is 2 ft (610 mm).
2.Meter Gauge:1676mm or 1m
3.Broad Gauge: The broad gauge trains travel much faster than the metre gauge trains because the rails are wider.

The word you want is "gauge". The gauge of a railway is the distance between the rails. There are several guages ranging from 2 feet to 5 feet, 8 and a half inches.

Broad gauge railways use a rail gauge (distance between the rails) greater than the standard gauge of 4'8½".

broad gauge is a railway track with the width grater than the standard gauge of 56 1/2 inches; narrow gauge is tghe distance which is less than the standard gauge of -- you guessed it --- 56 1/2 inches.

It is broad "Guage".
The tracks/rails are set further apart than narrow guage. Look at the life of Isambard Kingdom Brunell, railway pioneer in the UK, all will be explained.

The broad gaze is primarily built for tourist trains so that they can get a better view of the landscape.
