Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-002532

Describing a railway line or section where the physical dimensions of rolling stock, such as height, width, or length, are limited due to tunnels, bridges, or other infrastructure constraints. This restriction dictates the types of locomotives and freight cars that can operate on that particular route, impacting cargo capacity and operational flexibility. Specific loading gauges, like W6 or W12, define these permissible dimensions.
