During the construction of the new Standard Gauge (1435mm) railway to Alice Springs which replaced the old 1067mm gauge line temporary Train on Train (Piggyback ) was introduced to bypass the difficult section in the Flinders Ranges. This occured in the mid 1950s. Such operation can be used to overcoming the break of gauge more generally.

With train on train piggyback operation bridges, tunnels and 25kVAC overhead wiring have to be about one metre higher than normal. This would be no problem for new construction but may be problematic if existing infrastructure has to be raised. Conditions apply.
