The 1520mm standards and rules are essentially Russian rules says the Lithuanian railways guy here. Very true. But *please* if you move away from those, make sure you have a unified Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia rule book, not separate ones! #ConnectingEuropeDays

    What? Sabina Lindström from the Finnish Ministry of transport just said 1524mm / 1435mm systems dual gauge track are not possible in Finland. Here is *precisely that* in Tornio, Finland - my own photo. Yes, you need 4 rails not 3, but you can do it! #ConnectingEuropeDays

    @jon@gruene.social Someone should make a T-shirt that reads 1435mm & 25kV & ERTMS in Helvetica, à la the Rolling Stones T-shirt
