The trains that run on one gauge can't run on the other. So although both trains are trying to achieve the same result (transporting people and freight from point A to point B), one type of train can't use the other railroad's tracks. Very inefficient use of resources. Open source advocates should work toward compatibility. These incompatibilities remind me of railroads that use different width tracks (different gauges).
