New ore cars to Australia
Author: pedrop

A friend sent me these pictures of new chinese ore cars to Australia he found in the facebook. It is said they have the axle load of  40 tons and load capacity of 137.4 tons. In Brazil, the broad gauge railroads have an axle load capacity of 37,5 tons. Our heaviest rails are TR68. What is the TR code (kg per meter) used in Australia?

60 Kg per metre is standard for heavy haul railroads in Australia.
