loading gauge

There are many private railway companies in Japan and the loading gauge is different for each company.

Because of construction constraints, most lines have a limited loading gauge.

The main variations are in loading gauge and maximum car weight.

They were built for use in places of restricted loading gauge and curves such as docks.

All narrow loading gauge lines except line had originally 60m platforms.

It was discovered that the loading gauge of the line was too small.

The diameter of the big gearwheel was limited by the loading gauge.

They are used to move very large and heavy goods that would exceed the loading gauge on flat wagons.

Given the limited loading gauge at the beginning of the service only tankers could be transported.

The loading gauge diagram would indicate that the latter may be problematic.

In countries where the railway loading gauge is sufficient, truck trailers are often used.

This is because the Victoria line has a larger than normal loading gauge compared to the other deep level tube lines.

Rapid Transit (metro) railways generally have a very small loading gauge.

The entire line was built to accommodate a European standard loading gauge and all but a few stations were single island platforms.

In Europe, the more restricted loading gauge has limited the adoption of double-stack cars.

The difference between the structure gauge and the loading gauge is called the "clearance".

Above a certain diameter of boiler there is little or no room for water tanks to be added and still fit within the loading gauge.

The Ffestiniog's bridges and tunnels were built to a restrictive loading gauge.

They were however built to the continental loading gauge, but the design was intended to last, not a short-term kriegslok.

(When considering the operation of trains the loading gauge must also be considered.)

Network Rail have scheduled an inspection and assessment of the freight loading gauge for goods on this line in 2010.

A signal box, narrow based but opening out above the stock loading gauge, was located at the Manchester end of the 'down' platform.

The track loading gauge is the minimal Plate B.

The locations for any new stations on the route will depend on the loading gauge of the final scheme.

They are noted for their appearance with large highly-angled cylinders caused by restricted loading gauge.
