Historically, railways built and operated by private capital -from mine or Timber forests to the Port.
No respect for borders until in 50s & 60s when railways were taken over by newly independent nations.
Each Country introduced its own set of rules and regulations for running of trains.
Adhoc and uncoordinated acquisition of equipment.
