The train I'm in just crossed the border from Spain into France. No announcement and I expect no one else noticed the moment. Freedom to disregard borders is a huge boon to those who have it. Many don't and many more are losing it.

Huh. Does that still require switching the wheels on the train?

That was one of the weirder experiences I had in Europe (many years ago).

@TerryHancock @johnquiggin That is only for countries still on the wider Russian gauge such as the Baltics and Finland

@humanhorseshoes @TerryHancock @johnquiggin Spain also has its own (Iberian, actually) gauge, but they are using standard gauge on the new tracks that they build (I think mostly high speed, but I'm not 100% sure on this part)
