never thought China would agree to build a brand-new CKU railway system not based on standard gauge.
the need to switch track once the trains leave China is counterintuitive to me.
Or perhaps initially the plan is to use existing railway tracks in K and U to save costs, but as the railway system gets developed further (assuming the existing railway tracks in K and U are aging and need to be modernised anyway) and business volume/revenue picks up, the tracks will eventually be switched to standard gauge??

Arent there trains capable of switching of gauges?
