European Rail Gauges and Prewar Standards
The article notes that Paris and Germany used standard gauge of 4 feet 8 1/2 inches before World War II, matching England and the United States, while Russia used 5 feet. During invasions, Germans altered rails to their gauge, and after the war Russia restored and even adjusted some lines. Russia likely retained much standard gauge track due to German rolling stock acquired.
