This is all nearly perfect but its not the track gauge that is different its the tunnel width and turning radius.

My bad, I really thought the gauges were different. Does that mean you could technically send a number train down a letter line since they are smaller? Mind the gap, lol

Yes, you could.

For example: The cars from the 7 line need to go to the yard at 207 Street they get the real scenic route to get there. It happens fairly frequently.
