    “For the first time in more than a decade, a train has travelled from South Korea across the heavily guarded border into North Korea. On board is a team of South Korean experts investigating ways to help North Korea modernise its rail network.” Source BBC News.

    I'm surprised DPRK has the same track gauge (rail spacing) as S. Korea. Stalin changed the gauge of Russian RRs to five feet (instead of 4' 8-1/2") to prevent his equipment from being stolen. Same thing happened during the American Civil War. Southern states had a wider gauge than the north.

    • @MarceloBenoit-trenes
      @MarceloBenoit-trenes 3 роки тому +7

      Not correct. USSR gauge ever was 1524 mm (now 1520). Nazis regauged a lot of lines as they advanced, and were regauged again when they were expulsed.

      @@c.j.cleveland7475 Stephenson (which NOT invented the railway, but is the father of the modern railway system and the conception of wide available steam locomotives) used 4´ 8´´, which was the gauge of the coal mine where he worked and developped their first locomotives. The 1/2´´ was added to easy the rolling stock track use on the Liverpool-Manchester railway (the first inter city railway with passenger and freight service pulled by steam locomotives - two previous public steam railways used horses for passenger trains or cables to pull the trains on inclines using steam fixed engines for a section of the line).
