In Sweden there has been an extensive network of railways with 891 mm (2 ft 11 3⁄32 in) gauge, Swedish three foot gauge railways. Some of them remain. This is so close to 900 mm (2 ft 11 7⁄16 in) that they are more or less compatible, and some sales of rolling stock between the gauges have taken place.
