	Loading gauge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A loading gauge is the envelope or contoured shape within which all railway vehicles, engines, coaches, and trucks must fit.
		The smallest standard gauge loading gauge is that of the London Underground's tube lines.
		Elsewhere in Europe, lines tend to conform to the slightly larger Berne gauge and loading gauges in the United States tend to be larger still.

		Railway - track or rail gauge means the distance between the inside edges of the two rails forming the track (for example, standard gauge and narrow gauge) while loading gauge refers to the set of height and width profiles governing the maximum dimensions of railway vehicles.
		The gauge is determined by the number of solid spheres of a diameter equal to the inside diameter of the barrel that could be made from a pound of lead.

	Standard gauge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The subsequent Gauge Act of 1846 ruled that new railways should be built to standard gauge, but allowed the broad gauge companies to continue expanding their networks.
		Loading gauge, structure gauge, axle load, compatibility of couplings, continuous brakes, electrification system, signalling, radio systems and rules and regulations are also important.
		This is opposed to narrow gauge modeling, which models real-world narrow gauge, or off-scale modeling, where track is not true to scale, such as in O gauge.

	Network Rail Freight Commercial Services - Loading gauge
		The physical dimensions of a railway vehicle and its load are governed by a series of height and width profiles, known as loading gauges.
		Loading gauge profiles vary by route, reflecting the constraints on rail vehicle size caused by lineside and overline structures.
		The larger loading gauges tend to have greater headroom, to enable intermodal flat wagons to carry tall containers and swap bodies on certain routes.

	Break-of-gauge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In some cases, breaks of gauge are avoided by installing dual gauge track, either permanently or as part of a changeover process to a single gauge.
		Since the British loading gauge is much smaller, European-sized cars cannot enter most of the British rail network, even though the rail gauge is the same.
		In the latter part of the 20th century, all mainland capital cities were connected to a standard gauge (1435 mm) network, leading to more breaks of gauge (or branchline closures) in states where this is not the norm.

	Track Gauge & Loading Gauge
		Long loads could be accommodated but only if they did not extend to the full width of the gauge, and even then due to the nature of the tilt or 'super elevation' of the track (which is 'banked' up slightly round curves) long and high loads had to be carefully routed.
		The revised loading gauge clearances required to carry nine foot six inch high containers and lorry trailers to the current maximum road size (fitted with special suspension to lower its overall height when on the railway wagon) were generally referred to as the PB Gauge standing for Piggyback Gauge.
		Loads which are wider than the gauge are no longer carried by rail but prior to the development of roads and road vehicles, and the withdrawal of the common carriers legislation, the railways often had to deal with such 'out of gauge loads'.

		Increasing the structure gauge to give extra height, for the GB+ loading gauge needed for unaccompanied piggyback or the GC gauge required for tractor-and-trailer piggyback, would be very expensive.
		The original (1891) gauge meant everyone accepting the then standard French loading gauge, which was the smallest in mainland Europe as to both width and height.
		The gauge thus defined (shown on the diagram in the main article on the preceding pages as Universal gauge) continued to be known officially as the Gabarit passe-partout international, or 'PPI', which translates literally as 'pass everywhere international gauge'.

		The broad gauge of the Great Western is associated with one man, namely Brunel.
		One of the problems with the broad gauge was that the vertical loading gauge was only slightly greater than that on standard gauge lines.
		This probably indicates that Brunel was not fully aware of the mechanical potential for a broader gauge.

	History of the 7¼" Gauge Society (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The acceptance of 7¼ inch gauge at this time however, was overshadowed by the success of the larger gauges and commercial manufacturers tended to encourage the 15 inch gauge as it was more adaptable for a wide range of pleasure and estate uses and was more stable to carry passengers.
		Whilst 7¼ inch gauge still needed heavy turning equipment, which was not readily available to enthusiasts, it nevertheless had a following, as it represented an opportunity to build and operate an engine which was powerful enough to pull passengers, albeit at a much cheaper cost to build, operate and repair.
		This information has been communicated to the 7¼ inch Gauge Society in Great Britain and initially they had no answer but are now researching their archives to see if there is an agreed date that we can all adopt as the starting date for 7¼ inch gauge passenger operation.

		Often F is taken to be the of the magnitude of the mean vector force normal to the surface of area A upon whichit exerts; the "surface" not necessarily being a that of a body, but for example the cross sectional area of a conduit.
		Stagnation pressure is the pressure due to the velocity of a fluid, and is defined to include static pressure.In addition, there can be differences in pressure due to differences in the elevation (height) of the fluid.
