Loongeron Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 On the Sendziszow-Katowice section, there are false speed limits on the entire route, not just in SP. Example in the screenshot. In addition, the speed limit does not match the schedule. The train is always late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMRAIL Team uetam Posted January 15, 2023 SIMRAIL Team Share Posted January 15, 2023 30 km/h - start of the local speed restriction 50 km/h - end of the local speed restriction and return to line speed assigned by W27 sign ( in this case it is 50 km/h) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean that it is necessary to comply with these restrictions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a straight section 30. And the lateness is growing. Edited January 15, 2023 by Loongeron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example in the screenshot. In addition, the speed limit does not match the schedule. The train is always late. You have passed W8 sign, that installed before this (W9) sign at the braking distance (~1 km). This restriction is applied only for this small section (the next sign means the end of restriction). When your tail go through you can speed up to allowed line speed. For reference page 86-87 and page 128 rys.14: https://www.plk-sa.pl/files/public/user_upload/pdf/Akty_prawne_i_przepisy/Instrukcje/Wydruk/Ie/Ie-1__E-1__2020_WCAG_.PDF (use translator) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle Whistle Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Welcome to the railways. Local speed restrictions for local reasons. Could be to save foundations of nearby structures, buildings or bridges or other impacts that speeding trains may have. And I heard at some point that the low speed limits around the coal plant are due to coal mining and the impact vibrations from long heavy trains may have beneath the surface. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this official information or thoughts? I am familiar with the railway, and somewhere, especially in the fields, the limit of 60 seems strange to me.

Thistle Whistle Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I'm just offering some typical reasons for speed restrictions like the ones you've highlighted. They are real restrictions, fully signed. As for the coal mining comment - as I said, it was something I'd heard, I think on Fluffy's YT channel. And Fluffy knows his stuff. Sorry if you find any of it hard to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if you find any of it hard to believe. I wouldn't have asked this question if it wasn't reflected in the lateness. I drive according to the restrictions and am very late.

FluffyAdmiral Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 The area surrounding Katowice is known for unstable ground caused by excessive mining. There will be a lot of local restrictions on this route because of that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
