Link for those wondering what I'm talking about: (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_gauge). Considering how dual gauge railways can join lines of different gauges, could this be used to create a more unified American rail network in the pre-Civil War period and the years following it? In a surviving CSA where the economy isn't quite a disaster, could this be a good workaround for their numerous gauges?
EDIT: While I know dual gauge was used in the US, I was wondering about giving it a much expanded role.
