Cape gauge ("lebar trak Cape") adalah lebar trak sebesar 1067 antara sisi dalam kepala rel. Lebar trak ini dikategorikan sempit. Secara keseluruhan terdapat rel sepanjang sekitar 112.000 kilometres (70.000 mi) di dunia dengan lebar trak ini.
Lebar trak 1067 pertama kali digunakan oleh insinyu Carl Abraham Pihl dari Norwegia. Jalur pertama dibuka tahun 1862.
Di Indonesia, Cape gauge adalah yang standar rel kereta api.
Cape gauge diberi nama dari provinsi Cape di Afrika Selatan, yang memilih lebar trak ini tahun 1873.[1][2]. Lebar sepur ini kadang disebut sebagai CAP gauge, dari nama C.A.Pihl.[3]

- In Norway a number of main lines were built in the 19th century by the Norwegian engineer Carl Abraham Pihl with 1067, and were later rebuilt to standard gauge.
- The gauge was popular for railroads on the islands of the St. Lawrence Gulf. Both the Prince Edward Island Railway and Newfoundland Railway were built to this gauge. The PEI lines were later standard gauged before eventually being abandoned. The Newfoundland Railway was abandoned in 1989, operating as a narrow gauge line until the very end.
- During the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, the Japanese converted South Manchuria Railway from the Russian gauge (5 ft) to the 3 ft 6 in Japanese gauge, in order to facilitate the use of rolling stock brought from Japan. But once the new Japanese South Manchuria Railway company took possession of the line 1907, it was re-gauged again, now to the standard gauge (4 ft 8½ in).[8]
- Occasional lines in the United States used this gauge, including the Los Angeles Railway and San Diego Electric Railway in California.
