(proudly) In Mother Russia, diplomats are not gonna be stopped by lack of limousines and jets!

Further to the rails. One of my railway advisers says it's two different gauges (Russian and North Korean) while the other says they are a safety feature in the event of a derailment. Also says the Forth Bridge has them.

The tracks on the bridge are single; those on land are dual gauge.
