This law allows a small margin of error for the standard gauge set by section 206. The actual measurement used in practice can be off by up to 2.5 percent, in either direction.

This is a single short rule with no lettered parts. Section 206 of this title sets an official standard gauge — a fixed measurement. This section says that when people actually use and apply that standard gauge in practice, it doesn't have to be exact. The real measurement is allowed to vary by up to 2½ percent, either above or below the official standard.
