Which is the more reasonable measurement of the distance between the tracks on a railroad: 1.435 ⋅ 10−3 mm or 1.435 ⋅ 103 mm?

If you're comparing 1.435 * 10^(-3) mm to 1.435 * 10^3 mm, then the more reasonable measurement is 1.435 * 10^3 mm since,

1.435 * 10^3 mm = 1435 mm = 1.435 meters

1 meter is about 3.28 feet approximately

So 1.435 meters is slightly larger (about 4.708 feet) which is a fairly reasonable distance between the tracks on a railroad.

Something like 1.435 * 10^(-3) mm is equal to 0.001435 mm, which is far less than 1 mm.
