  2. Loading gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loading_gauge

    A loading gauge is a diagram or physical structure that defines the maximum height and width dimensions in railway vehicles and their loads. Their purpose is to ensure that rail vehicles can pass safely through tunnels and under bridges, and keep clear of platforms, trackside buildings and structures. [ 1 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_gauge

    The European (Berne) loading gauge is usually 3,150 mm (10 ft 4 in) wide by 3,175 mm (10 ft 5.0 in) rising to 4,280 mm (14 ft 1 in) in the centre. This is a clearance envelope (see loading gauge) on a curve of 250 m (820 ft 3 in) radius.

    Standard gauge is defined both in metric and in imperial units. It is also the best-known gauge worldwide; 55% of the world uses this track. In 2020, China’s rail network is standard gauge, with around 79,685 km (49,514 mi) of line. [92] 1,440 mm 4 ft 8 + 11 ⁄ 16 in: Switzerland

    A loading gauge is a two-dimensional profile that encompasses a cross-section of the track, ... descriptions relating to the respective dimensions. ...

  6. Track spacing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_spacing

    The minimum track spacing can be derived from the loading gauge. The European Berne Gauge has a width of 3,150 mm (10 ft 4 in). The minimal distance to structures on the side of the track is half of it but that is doubled again for double track lines. As the carriage can sway and bounce within the rail gauge, one adds 100 mm (3.9 in) and with a ...

    The gauge was known as "Texas gauge" while required by Texas law until 1875, [4] and used by the New Orleans, Opelousas and Great Western Railroad (NOO&GW) until 1872, and by the Texas and New Orleans Railroad until 1876. The New England railways were similarly standard-gauged in the 1870s.

    This gauge is represented by the EM Society (in full, Eighteen Millimetre Society). 00 track (16.5 mm) is the wrong gauge for 1:76 scale, but use of an 18.2 mm (0.717 in) gauge track is accepted as the most popular compromise towards scale dimensions without having to make significant modifications to ready-to-run models. Has a track gauge ...

    For standard gauge railways, double stacking maximum height shall be 6.15 m (20 ft 2 in). For Indian gauge railways, double stacking maximum height shall be 7.1 m (23 ft 4 in), and minimum overhead wiring height shall be 6.5 or 6.75 m (21 ft 4 in or 22 ft 2 in) above rails.
