Basics

This training is designed to introduce novices and newcomers to the topic of railway engineering and rail transport. This module teaches the basic principles of railway technology and provides reliable knowledge that later can be applied in practice. The basic principles of understanding loading gauge and track will later accompany you on a day to day basis. How a train behaves on the track, how brakes and their air system function interdependently and which rolling stock should be used – all these are vital considerations in connective rail transport planning.
