Hey Mark David is partially right here the problem is in fact that you
cannot  lay shared rail dual gauge (BG-SG) for the pedantics using
rail any heavier than 49 KGM due to the width of the rail foot if you
try you will find that when you place the two rails together at the
correct gauge then you will be unable to dogspike between the two
adjacent rails the only way to do it with 60 KGM rail is to lay both
gauges separately IE no shared rail !!
