At Albury railway station, New South Wales, a 1600 mm (5 ft 3 in) and 1435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) dual-gauge line was in place until 2011. A dual-gauge line was within Tocumwal railway station until 1988, when the standard gauge component was put out of use. In 1900, in South Australia, a three-rail dual-gauge system was proposed in order to ...
The Inland Railway line from Melbourne to Brisbne of 1600km length includes about 300km of dual gauge that improves the curves and gradients of the original Brisbane to Toowoomba line. This dual gauge replaces the narrow gauge that was chosen to enable cheap 100m radius curves and 2% gradients. 900 mm (2 ft 11 + 7 ⁄ 16 in) 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 ...
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)
Albany and Susquehanna Railroad, Erie Railroad until June 22, 1880, Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad March–May 1876, Predominant gauge used by railroads along southern tier of New York State that connected to the pioneering Erie Railroad. Most lines converted to standard gauge 1876-1880, along with the Erie. 1,850 mm 6 ft 27 ⁄ 32 in
Light rail lines 5 and 6 will use standard gauge Waterloo Ion Light Rail: 19 km 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) 750 V China: Trams in Beijing: 20.6 km 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) 750 V Xijiao line and Yizhuang T1 line: Trams in Changchun: 12.8 km 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) 600 V Changchun Rail Transit (light rail part) 68 km
At the border with Sweden where the Torne separates the cities of Tornio, Finland and Haparanda, Sweden, a two-kilometre section of dual gauge track uses a gauntlet configuration because the 1,524 mm (5 ft) gauge used in Finland and 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) standard gauge used in Sweden are too close for a common rail to be shared.
The 1896 photograph of the pit head and tipple clearly shows at least 4 lines of dual-gauge track at the tipple, suggesting that the entire short line was dual gauge. In early 1900, the Chicago and North Western began operating over the north half of the Lost Creek Railway as they began constructing their branch to Buxton, Iowa , opened in 1901.
There was also a branch from the Nemo line connecting Este with a logging camp at Merritt. The railroad had 6.180 miles (9.946 km) of dual gauge track (with 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge trackage) and another 47.618 miles (76.634 km) of 3 ft (914 mm) track; the total amount of track was 53.798 miles (86.579 km).
