How many fit in a train
The binding limit is usually the shortest passing loop on the route, not the locomotive.
- European norm
- 45 wagons
- 550 m train · 3015 t payload
- TEN-T corridor
- 61 wagons
- 740 m train · 4087 t payload
- Extended
- 69 wagons
- 835 m train · 4623 t payload
Worked example.1340 t needs 20 × Smmps, only 44% of a 550 m train (45 wagons). A block train at this volume means paying to haul empty space — the path and the locomotive cost the same whether the train is full or not. Wagonload consolidates your wagons with other traffic, at a higher per-tonne rate but no volume commitment, and adds 1–4 days of marshalling dwell.
Loading gauge clearance
Whether a load clears the tunnels and bridges, on this wagon's 850 mm deck. This is not track gauge — see the track gauge checker for whether the wheels can run on a given network.
