When analyzed in terms of construction costs, the largest gap between these four standards was no more than 1.2%, meaning that the cost of railway construction wasn't the main factor influencing the decision.

Thinking about it, it makes sense since the gauge of railways in this era was generally quite wide; Russia's first railway gauge was 1829mm, and later, for the sake of profiteering, bureaucrats took the suggestions of American engineers to change it to 1524mm.
