Could be 18" or but most likely 24", given the relationship to the Sidestakes on the Coalcars behind.  Depending on the weight of rail used the look of gauge can change ie 20lb 24" gauge can look just like 12lb 18".  However the quarry operations tended to favour 24" due to lighter material and greater volumne with more generous clearances than hardrock underground mines.

Brilliant picture though.
