Many tramway networks initially built to narrow gauges (750 mm or 2 ft 5 + 1 ⁄ 2 in or 1,000 mm or 3 ft 3 + 3 ⁄ 8 in metre gauge) were converted to broad gauge. As of 2015, only a few out of more than sixty tram systems in Russia are not broad gauge: 1,000 mm in Kaliningrad and Pyatigorsk , 1,435 mm ( 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in ) in Rostov-on-Don .
A broad-gauge railway is a railway with a track gauge (the distance between the rails) broader than the 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) used by standard-gauge railways.. Broad gauge of 1,520 mm (4 ft 11 + 27 ⁄ 32 in), more known as Russian gauge, is the dominant track gauge in former Soviet Union countries (CIS states, Baltic states, Georgia, Ukraine) and Mongolia.
The 1.83-mile (2.95 km) tunnel was the world's longest railway tunnel when it was completed in 1841. Built between December 1838 and June 1841 for the Great Western Railway (GWR) under the direction of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the straight tunnel descends on a 1 in 100 gradient from its eastern end. At the time the tunnel's construction was ...
International MV bus chassis with an IC Bus school bus body. The cowled bus chassis variant of the MV was unveiled on July 14, 2023 for the 2025 model year to replace the DuraStar-based International 3300 after 19 years of its production since 2004. The chassis is exclusively bodied by International's subsidiary IC Bus. As of 2025 production ...
It was engineered by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who chose a broad gauge of 7 ft (2,134 mm)—later slightly widened to 7 ft 1 ⁄ 4 in (2,140 mm)—but, from 1854, a series of amalgamations saw it also operate 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (1,435 mm) standard-gauge trains; the last broad-gauge services were operated in 1892.
The truck is available in a variety of wheel (4×2, 4×4, 6×4, and 6×6) and engine configurations.

[1] [2] The first steam locomotive to see service at East London Harbour was a 7 ft 1 ⁄ 4 in (2,140 mm) Brunel gauge engine which was obtained for work on breakwater construction in 1873 and placed in service in 1874. It was a 0-4-0 VB engine, similar in general appearance to the American Grasshopper type. Four of them were acquired between ...
