In German these flat low level narrow gauge trucks are known as Rollwagen -- the standard gauge boxcars get pushed up onto them to continue the journey along narrow gauge line. Of course the operation is time consuming and the reason why new lines will never be built with a break of gauge today. In the past, narrow gauge made economic sense when there was rugged terrain as curves can be sharper.
This scene was at Zanjemysl in Poland in the good old steam days.
