Adopting standard-gauge tracks was important for the railroad industry because then railroad cars could be switched from one track to another for more efficient service. The standard size of railroad cards after this action made it possible for railroads to join forces to move products.

Why are blow out panels used in aircrafts?
A rupture disc or blow out panel is a non-reclosing pressure relief device that protects a pressure vessel, equipment or system from overpressurization or potentially damaging vacuum conditions. Rupture discs are commonly used in petrochemical, aerospace, aviation, defense, medical, railroad,nuclear, chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing and oilfield applications. They can be used as single protection devices or as a backup device for a conventional safety valve; if the pressure increases and the safety valve fails to operate (or can't relieve enough pressure fast enough), the rupture disc will burst. Rupture discs are very often used in combination with safety relief valves, isolating the valves from the process, thereby saving on valve maintenance and creating a leak-tight pressure relief solution.
What are two examples of structures that contain gaps to prevent them from buckling in hot weather?
This question is hard to look for answers. The most common answer is railway tracks. Without gaps, the track would expand to become wonky and unsafe to drive on. Another common example that we have clearly missed; is DRAINS. Even though the gaps are for water travel, it is also designed so that the metal can expand. Hope this helps!
