Loading gauge

1) A standard measure used to allow safe passage of rail wagons through bridges/tunnels, etc (ie the maximum height and width to which rail wagons must conform to avoid risk of collision with bridges, etc).

There are some eight gauges in use in the UK and Europe varying between the smallest (BRW6) and the largest (Eurotunnel). See also Static gauge and Kinematic envelope.
