they tried fixing it with standard gauge so many of the main trunk lines have/had three rails. I can remember in the old days one had to change trains in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere at places like casino and murraybridge. The luggage was lucky to make it on the same train, sometime turning up several states away many months later if at all. The railway food was abyssimal and the coffee and tea stewed and never enough time to drink it.
