You’re right, but it’s more fun for people to think the city is actually fining this guy.
They’re just flagging it in their system.

Except lots and lots of Canada is an unusable wasteland.
Edit: Sry, but as a Canadian it’s the truth. It’s why everyone lives on the border

Maybe, but the sentence you are relying on for the number isn’t scoped to the south but the entire continent.
“By June 1886, all major railroads in North America, an estimated 11,500 miles (18,500 km), were using approximately the same gauge“
It is a little unsatisfying that it doesn’t seem to say how much was moved.

It’s not me that pollutes, it’s the company that sold me the stuff I use!
If they didn’t make the stuff I pollute with, I wouldn’t be polluting!
