Section III.
TRANSPORT ON FOREIGN RAILWAYS
7-7.
General
Transportability guidance in this section is applicable
when the ROLAND fire unit and the XM1058 truck are
transported on foreign railways.
Consideration is given
to single and multiple vehicle movements for flatcars
normally used in the movement of this type of vehicle.
When loaded on a suitable flatcar, the ROLAND fire unit
and the XM1058 truck can be transported, with
restrictions, within European countries complying with
the passe-partout international (PPI) gauge railways.
This also applies to the majority of countries in the
Middle East, South America, Australia, India, and
Pakistan.
In the Middle East and South America, the
clearances vary by country, and each country requires a
separate check.
In Australia, India, and Pakistan, wide
or broad-gauge railways provide greater clearances and
few restrictions.
Because of the various designations
and clearances used by different countries, evaluation
of transport capability must be made on an individual
basis.
