When the DFB repatriated the HG 4/4s from Vietnam, they had to rework the rack wheel alignment on the locomotives because the heights of the rack rails were different. Apparently there are different dimensions even though both railroads used the abt system.

It’s interesting they are moving away from abt. The staggered teeth provide a greater contact surface area.
