How many fit in a train
The binding limit is usually the shortest passing loop on the route, not the locomotive.
- European norm
- 27 wagons
- 550 m train · 1498.5 t payload
- TEN-T corridor
- 37 wagons
- 740 m train · 2053.5 t payload
- Extended
- 41 wagons
- 835 m train · 2275.5 t payload
Worked example.1110 t needs 20 × Res, which is 74% of a 550 m train (27 wagons). That is enough to justify running a block train: it goes origin to destination without being marshalled, so it avoids the 1–4 days of yard dwell wagonload adds, and the per-tonne rate is lower because the path and traction are spread over a full train.
Loading gauge clearance
Whether a load clears the tunnels and bridges, on this wagon's 1245 mm deck. This is not track gauge — see the track gauge checker for whether the wheels can run on a given network.
