Gauge

An item in the Namibia Economist newspaper leaves the question open as to choice of gauge on the proposed Botswana to Walvis Bay line. 1067 is used by almost all contiguous railways in Southern Africa, however 1435 might be used for future railways connecting to the north of Africa. Both gauges are suitable for heavy traffic if the track is built heavy enough, which would be the case. Dual gauge is possible if you cannot make up your minds.

Double Stack

Double stack containers currently operate on standard gauge and broad gauge. Can they operate on narrow gauge (probably) and if so, would there be any reduction in speed as the narrow gauge is bound to be less stable. (Don't know)

A mess

This list is a mess, maybe someone from TrainsWikiProject comes along and comments: Do you want to have the towns listed, or the lines? If former, please sort according to towns, if the latter, please sort the lines. Currently it is neither. Also, what are the inclusion criteria? End points, junctions, and crossings, or should all railway stops be in? --Pgallert (talk) 10:33, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
