Comparison of narrow and standard gauge railway alignments in the same topography

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Satellite image marked with the alignments of adjacent narrow gauge and standard gauge railway lines. The meandering narrow gauge route was built to stimulate local agricultural development at the least possible cost in 1878: to minimise earthwork costs it followed the contours of the land. The straighter standard gauge line was built in 1970 on a far higher budget, justified by the necessity for trains to travel at faster speeds on a newly gauge-standardised trans-continental route.
