Break-of-gauge
With railways, a
break-of-gauge
occurs where a line of one
gauge
meets a line of a different gauge.
Trains
and
rolling stock
cannot run through without some form of
conversion between gauges
, and
freight
and
passengers
must otherwise be
transhipped
. A break-of-gauge adds delays, cost, and inconvenience.
