A system developed by [[Talgo]] and [[Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles]] (CAF) of Spain uses variable gauge [[wheelset (rail transport)|wheelsets]]; at the border between France and Spain, through passenger trains are drawn slowly through an apparatus that alters the gauge of the wheels, which slide laterally on the axles.<ref name="alvarez">Alberto García Álvarez, [http://www.vialibre-ffe.com/pdf/Track_gauge_changeover.pdf "Automatic Gauge Changeover for Trains in Spain"] (PDF), Fundación de los Ferrocarrilos Españoles, 2010.</ref>
A similar system is used between China and Central Asia, and between Poland and Ukraine, using the [[SUW 2000]] and [[INTERGAUGE]] variable axle systems.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.oevg.at/aktuell/veranstaltungen/umspurung/waryn.pdf |title=Experience and results of operation the SUW 2000 system in traffic corridors |access-date=2008-12-07 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090319042706/http://www.oevg.at/aktuell/veranstaltungen/umspurung/waryn.pdf |archive-date=2009-03-19 }}</ref> China and Poland use standard gauge, while Central Asia and Ukraine use {{Track gauge|1520mm}}.
