That reminds me of the Glasgow streetcar system that had a track gauge that nominally was 3/4 inch narrower than standard gauge specifically so that freight cars from the mainline railroad could be forwarded to industries. The thing being that regular freight cars could not be run on standard gauge streetcar tracks of the type adopted as the rail groove was both too shallow and too narrow, but they could be run with the tips of their flanges running on the bottom of the groove.
