It's Indian Broad gauge. IIRC, the real reason was that the Southern Pacific was opposing any rail transit, under the thought that their tracks would be taken for it. So, by going to a non standard gauge, the system happened.

DC, Philly, Toronto, and a number of other places use non standard gauges, too...
