> There's enough difference between 1435mm and 1520mm to use a 3-rail system.
Can you provide an example? I've only seen 4-rail dual-gauge systems for those gauges.

If narrow gauuge, the right wheel uses the innner rail. If wide gauge, the right wheel uses the outer rail.
Between 1435mm and 1520mm there's only 85mm space. I am not even sure if you could mount two rail that close.
3" equals to 76.2mm, which leaves only 8.8mm. No way.
These gauges cannot make 3-rail dual gauge with Russian gauge.
1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) Indian gauge
1,668 mm (5 ft 5+21⁄32 in) Iberian gauge
1,600 mm (5 ft 3 in) Irish gauge
1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge
4-rail is a viable solution, but, unsurprisingly, it costs more than a 3-rail or sometimes a two separate 2-rail lines.
