Portuguese term or phrase: Bitola
Se trata de una medida, en algunos sitios he encontrado "trocha", pero no sé si es el término correcto.

Bitola
Distância entre um par de carris, medida entre as extremidades interiores das cabeças dos carris. As bitolas mais utilizadas são a normal ou europeia (1,435 m), a larga (1,668 m) e a estreita ou métrica (1,000 m). A bitola dos nossos tempos tem medidas de outros tempos, pois corresponde à distância entre as rodas das carruagens puxadas a cavalos que existiam antes mesmo dos comboios ou dos carros!

Explanation:
Aunque Bitola significa separación entre railes, se usa normalmente para referirse a una medida estándar o normalizada.
Si traduces este texto para Sudamérica, trocha es bastante específico.
