A multi-gauge network
Kazakhstan runs on more than one gauge — Broad (1520 mm) and Standard (1435 mm). That makes it strategically useful: traffic can change over inside the country instead of stopping at the border, which is exactly why gauge-transition countries end up hosting the busiest interchange terminals.
