Certain US lines are freight only simply because you don't run passenger trains on them.
Not so, dreary donkey. The freight lines have wider, heavier, and shorter

The US track gauge is identical to ours. Not wider at all. I see nothing about it being different
for freight here. It would be highly illogical anyway.
