Composition and calculation of the weight and braking of passenger trains
Summary
This leaflet defines the following conditions to be observed for the operation of passenger trains:
maximum train composition limit expressed in number of vehicles, axles, hauled tonnage and trainset length;
calculation of the weight of trains (tare + inclusive weight specified in the leaflet);
calculation of the minimum braking percentage in relation to the tare.
It sets out recommendations for braking in winter conditions.
