[quote]<i>Originally posted by Muddy Creek</i> <br /> <br />In another thread, some one asked about train travel from China to Russia. When the Trans-Mongolian Railway train enters Russia and the Trans-Siberian trackage, the trucks on the cars are changed to accomodate the change in gauge. It's an old solution that is still in use today. <br /> <br />Brazil found a better solution using a third rail that allows two gauge on the same line. Broad gauge (1,600 mm) accept meter gauge inside it very well. Using an special wagon called "maromba" it´s possible to move a narrow train using a large gauge locomotive and vice versa. <br /> <br />Pedro
