The Dublin & Drogheda Railway underwent a gauge conversion because the gauges were too close to allow a dual-gauge line. Italy. The Potenza – Avigliano Lucania line in Italy is a dual gauge rail with 1435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) and 950 mm (3 ft 1 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) tracks. Japan. In Japan, the national standard is 1067 mm (3 ft 6 in) narrow gauge.
The Robbs Jetty–Coogee line to Woodman Point (now removed) was converted to dual gauge. The Kwinana loop rail was constructed at dual gauge. The railways constructed and upgraded under the Railways (Standard Gauge) Construction Act 1961 form the backbone of the freight railway network in Perth.
If the difference between the two gauges is large enough – for example between 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) standard gauge and 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) – three-rail dual-gauge is possible, but if not – for example between 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) and 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) metre gauge – four rails must be used. Dual-gauge rail lines ...
Hesston Steam Museum (2 ft (610 mm) gauge lines and dual gauge lines with 2 ft gauge track also present) (all 3 ft (914 mm) gauge trackage is dual-gauged with 2 ft gauge trackage) (separate 14 in (356 mm) gauge railway and separate 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (190.5 mm) gauge railway also present) (operating) Iowa: Burlington and Northwestern Railway (defunct)
The Gold Coast line was progressively rebuilt on a new alignment south of Beenleigh from 1996. The section from Kuraby to Beenleigh was duplicated in association with the re-establishment of the Gold Coast line in 1995. The standard gauge line was converted to dual gauge and electrified at the same time, creating a third track as far as Salisbury.
The line from Cartagena to Los Blancos was converted at the same time it was extended to Los Nietos.
