"The only downside of this wider [American] gauge is that it isn't compatible with Europe's smaller standard gauge, so American trains cannot run on European tracks and vice versa."And that is exactly what killed the intercontinental railroad that Obama talked about back in 2011.

Silly Obama couldn’t figure out that you just need to add a 3rd set of wheels to the trains so they can fit on either size track.

Afaik, America and Europe both primarily use standard gauge, so I don’t know what this is about.

The author of this article is misinformed.
Virtually all commercial track in western Europe is standard guage, the same as in the US.
