Trans-Siberian Trains traveling across the china/ russia border change out the bogies on the entire train because the tracks are 3" wider.

Ironically my company did the first study of the Soviet railway system following the breakup of the Soviet Union. The changing gauges and bogies didn't even began to describe how backward their systems are. Food would rot waiting for the
time zone to change. Or a bribe.
