5Minimum distance between the first and last axle of a lone vehicle or trainset operating in Belgium (except for high speed TEN ‘L1’) is given in Annex A, Appendix 1 paragraph 2.1.9 Existing track circuit equipment. T3
6Minimum diameter of wheels of vehicles operating in France is given Annex A, Appendix 1 paragraph 2.2.2 Existing axle counter equipment. T3
7Minimum height of flange for vehicles operating in Lithuania is given in Annex A, Appendix 1 paragraph 2.2.4.The existing axle counter equipment allows wheels with lower height of flange to be detected (positive specific case for RS).T3
8Minimum axle load for vehicles operating on certain lines in Germany, Austria, and Belgium is given in Annex A, Appendix 1 paragraph 3.1.3

Germany:

Minimum axle load necessary to shunt certain track circuits is determined in a requirement of EBA (Eisenbahn-Bundesamt), relevant on some main lines in Germany in the area of former DR (Deutsche Reichsbahn) with 42 Hz and 100 Hz track circuits. No renewal.

T3

Belgium:

The minimal axle load is 5 t on all lines in Belgium (except for high-speed

lines as already described in the specific case). This minimal load is required to:

  1. 1))

    shunt the different track circuits used on our conventional network:

    especially 50 Hz track circuits and track circuits with electrical-joints.

  2. 2))

    to activate properly some kinds of treadle working with the weight of axles.

In Belgium, treadles are used in combination with track circuits to release itineraries.

No renewal.

Austria:

Minimum axle load necessary to shunt certain track circuits is determined in a requirement for safe function, relevant on some main lines in Austria with 100 Hz track circuits. No renewal.
