Tunnel Restrictions The Romanian Railway Infrastructure comprises 171 tunnels with a total length of 62 km. The tunnels are not restricted for the diesel traction traffic. The loading gauge through the tunnels is: GA, GB, GC according to the construction year or the last overhaul. The transports exceeding the loading gauge of the tunnels are dealt with in accordance with Article 2.5 of the NS. No out-of-loading gauge transports are permitted on the Oravita – Anina Line.

Bridge Restrictions The Railway Network comprises 17 694 bridges and culverts (4 216 of them are bridges) with a total length of 143.65 km. The traffic restrictions on the bridges refer to the loading gauge or to the load per linear meter. The restrictions are determined by the ratio between the bearing capacity of the bridge, and the load per axle or linear meter of the rolling stock. The restriction refers to the enforcement of a value of the load per axle/linear meter or the speed restriction and tonnage acceptance. This restriction is mentioned at C3 in Annex II RIV. These restrictions may be exceeded only after obtaining some special approvals which have to be required in advance by the RU.

2.5       Availability of the Infrastructure
  In principle, the stations (the traffic sections) have full availability (uninterrupted activity), with the following
  exceptions:
      a) infrastructure maintenance or repairing works;
      b) infrastructure overhaul or upgrading works;
      c) activity suspended on low-traffic sections, during certain periods of the day;
      d) urgent works;
      e) force majeure cases;
  There are set out in the annual working timetable “windows” (reserve capacities) for the maintenance and
  repairing of the railway infrastructure. They may be operatively cancelled if there are no works scheduled
  or the train paths allocated may contain remarks regarding the availability within the “windows” that are
  published before enforcing the timetable.

a) The overhauling or upgrading works are scheduled in due time, and are set down in the working timetable. b) The activity may be suspended on certain low-traffic sections (for time intervals smaller than 24 hours), especially at night, if no train path is allocated. The intervals for suspending the activity are established according to the low-traffic periods in the working timetable. After the entry into force of the timetable, the traffic of the RU’s trains within these time intervals is subject to a prior approval taking into account the technical possibilities, and the recovery of the additional costs for resuming the activity. At the request of the RU, CFR may supply the services related to the resumption of the activity on the sections with suspended traffic, under the conditions set down at point 5.5.5. The list of these sections and suspension intervals is set out in Annex 11.
