Seems like China want to turm whatever broad gauge network within its reach into standard gauge. First would be Central Asia.

I know. I was there to see it when I rode the Standard Gauge branchline close by.

I'm sorry if the photo is blurry.

Not sure; maybe for higher speeds (it does seem to go pretty fast), stability, and more space for large crowds.

Not true. There are Tiny, North Star, Fire Fly and Iron Duke. There is potential for some of the outside/sandwich frame locos that exist are made partially from recycled Broad Gauge parts too.

There are 3 Brunel gauge locomotives in the Azores being restored and the Erie Railroad was originally built to broad gauge.

They were pulled out of a dump in the 70's, were put into a shop to be restored with government funding and are still there in the shops caked in rust with next to no work done. They want to have them running though.
