Five out schedule train

This shows five times a week services day and night. It could be an online service for
booking and requesting to travel from place to place using trains.

A public transport timetable (also timetable and North American English schedule) is a
document setting out information on service times, to assist passengers with planning a trip.
Typically, the timetable will list the times when a service is scheduled to arrive at and depart
from specified locations. It may show all movements at a particular location or all movements on
a particular route or for a particular stop. Traditionally this information was provided in printed
form, for example as a leaflet or poster. It is now also often available in a variety of electronic
formats. Journey planners have to some extent replaced traditional timetable books in many
places.

2. Express freight train

Freight trains are usually more about predictability than speed. Unless one is not
transporting food or mail, duration normally doesn’t matter. However, Japan’s high-speed
narrow-gauge passenger services make operating express freight easier, and the right-of-way is
already designed for higher speeds, so the cost doesn’t need to be justified by freight use, and
having trains run at a similar speed to passenger services makes the two work together better.
Some of these express trains follow a set route and schedule, using dedicated equipment,
and are often operated on behalf of one company (which may be an industry, or an express
shipping company). That’s true of many non-express unit freight trains also.

High speed freight trains today are divided into three classes: class A, rated for 100 or
110 kph but also including the M250, class B rated for 95 kph which includes both container
trains and tank trains using the TAKI 1000, and class C rated for 85 kph. There are two lower
classes of ordinary “dedicated” freight train: class A (yes, they reuse the letters), rated for 75 kph
and class B rated for 65 kph, although it sounds like the last one is fairly rare now.
Express freight appear to operate on a daily basis to/from larger freight stations.

4. Heavy haul Train

Definition of heavy-haul train is that it has transportation capacity of at least 5000mt,

hauls revenue freight of at least 20 million mt (gross) per year, and operates with axle loads of
25mt or more. Yet another characteristic of such a train is that it consists of wagons that are
uniformly of the same type, carry a single commodity, and move uninterruptedly from a single
origin, say a mine head, to a single destination, say a sea port. Trains are typically loaded in only
one direction, and return empty for fresh loading. One of the world’s heaviest and longest freight
trains is the Sishen-Saldanha iron ore export line in South Africa. It has a train length of 4km,
consists of 342 wagons that carry a gross train mass of 37,000 tonnes, is hauled by six electric
locomotives and runs over a distance of 861 kms.

In the competitive global economy, countries with high-cost railways are at a

disadvantage because railway inefficiency increases the cost of export freight. In the case of
single commodity lines such as iron ore routes, if transport costs are too high, the commodity
may become too expensive, leading to the end customer finding another source of supply or
taking recourse to alternative modes of transport. For this reason, and given railway’s relatively
lower share of the general freight market as compared to road, many governments have decided
to effect fundamental rather than incremental changes in the functioning of their railway systems.

This brings heavy-haul technology to the forefront, because of its distinct advantage
over road transport owing to higher permissible speeds and heavier axle loads. Heavy-haul
operations, by maximising efficiencies and reducing transport costs, have been able to provide a
distinct commercial and competitive advantage in economies endowed with vast mineral
resources.

5. Insulated train

Where track circuits exist for signalling purposes, insulated block joints are required.
These compound the weaknesses of ordinary joints. Specially-made glued joints, where all the
gaps are filled with epoxy resin, increase the strength again.

As an alternative to the insulated joint, audio frequency track circuits can be employed using a
tuned loop formed in approximately 20 m (66 ft) of the rail as part of the blocking circuit.
Another alternative is the axle counter, which can reduce the number of track circuits and thus
the number of insulated rail joints required.

6. Self-owned train

These are trains that are owned and operated by individuals. Unlike state owned trains
they are not the property of the public.

About 20 privately owned Train Operating Companies, each franchised for a defined
term by government, operate passenger trains on the main rail network in Great Britain. ATOC is
the trade association representing the TOCs and provides core services, including the provision
of the National Rail Enquiries service. It also runs Rail Settlement Plan, which allocates ticket
revenue to the various TOCs, and Rail Staff Travel, which manages travel facilities for railway
staff. It does not compile the national timetable, which is the joint responsibility of the Office of
Rail Regulation (allocation of paths) and Network Rail (timetable production and publication).
