This file requires updating because: Ghana also has 1435 mm standard gauge track. In doing so, you could add a timestamp to the file.
Please notify the uploader with {{subst:update-note|1=File:Rail gauge world.svg|2=Ghana also has 1435 mm standard gauge track.}} ~~~~
This file requires updating because: Tanzania and Kenya main tracks are now 1435 mm standard gauge, not metre gauge as previously. In doing so, you could add a timestamp to the file.
