Conclusions
of investigations between Scandinavia and Europe
Railway Group
• Extended intermodal loading gauge
– In many cases possible by measuring actual obstacles and
making minor adjustments
• Extended loading gauge for wagonload
– Especially valuable to make rectangular profile in upper part
• Operation of longer trains
– Can be possible on existing infrastructure but simulations and
network analysis must be done to verify possible slots

Proposals
for cooperation between Russia and Europe
Railway Group
• How to handle intermodal between Scandinavia and Russia
– Trailers can be handled on existing ferries on many destinations. What are the
prerequisities for trailer transports on rail and road in Russia?
• How to handle wagonload between Sweden and Russia
– The train ferry line Sweden – Finland is closed, but the railway to
Haparanda/Tornio is improved
• Comparsion of freight train operation in Russia and
Scandinavia
– What is best practice in Russia and what can we learn in Europe?
• Reliable systems in cold weather operation
– Exchange of experiences
