Gauge unification

Triple gauge for the three main gauges in Africa are a practible solution for mixed gauge tracks.

1000 mm and 1067 mm gauges can be combined as a 4 rail dual gauge with bonus 1435 mm gauge

Triple gauge supports the three main gauges in Africa:
Red: Template:RailGauge,
Green: Template:RailGauge and
Blue: Template:RailGauge.
The wide separation or the outer pairs of rails (435 mm and 368 mm) provides space for railclips and suits turnout construction.
