TM 55-2200-001-12 Change 4 NATO UNCLASSIFIED b. Twin or Multiple-Track Lines.   Circulation conditions are indicated for each track, e.g.: XXXXXXXXXX  A = Circulation impossible on track A. B = Clear way on track B. 14. These maps also show the category of each line according to the permissible weight per linear metre and the axle loading.  These categories are defined as follows: Category Axle loading Weight per metre A 16 m.  tons 4.8 m.  tons/metre B1 18 m.  tons 5.0 m.  tons/metre B2 18 m.  tons 6.4 m.  tons/metre C2 20 m.  tons 6.4 m.  tons/metre C3 20 m.  tons 7.2 m.  tons/metre C4 20 m.  tons 8  m.  tons/metre D. Remarks 15. A  vehicle  loaded  on  a  NATO  Category  8  wagon  (the  wagon  taken  into  consideration  when  establishing  the envelopes) and contained within Envelope A or B /Annexes B or C) can circulate on the lines shown on the relevant traffic map.  On the other hand, a study, which can be undertaken only by the Railway Administrations, is necessary to determine whether a vehicle loaded on a wagon other that a category 8 wagon will fit into Envelopes A and B (which must  be  reduced  to  take  account,  interalia,  of  the  difference  in  wheel  base).    Such  studies  are  made  whenever  a sketchbook sheet for a vehicle is prepared (see Part 4). 16. National  traffic  maps  are  drawn  without  taking  account  of  the  existence  of  temporary  obstacles,  which  will  be removed in accordance with special instructions to be issued in due course by the appropriate Railway Administrations, so that advantage can be taken of the studies made. 17. In the case of unforeseen obstacles, the Railway Administrations must make an actual check (and not merely a study) to ascertain that there is sufficient room for loaded wagons to pass. 18. Owing to the special problems arising from traffic between France and Italy within the Envelopes A and B, special conditions have been laid down in bilateral agreements between the FS (Italian State Railways) and the SNCF (French State Railways), to which reference should be made in connection with all transport studies involving these two nations. - 4 - ea NATO UNCLASSIFIED Change 4  CC-6
