TO the wider Russian tracks arises.
Everywhere else In Europe the rails
are 1895 millimeters apart. hut on
the Russian roads they are 1884 mill

Interchangeable axles which at the bor-

but the majority OF the German roll

the passenger cars.
The shift from standard TO broad
gauge is accomplished by shuntlng
cars travelling R-ussianward from the
standard track into a sort OF turn
table. out OF which lead the broad
gauge rails. In this table or pit the
