Loading gauge... structure gauge...

Where does the 'kinematic envelope' fit in here?
Does that one allow for bounce, sway and wobble?

(Serious question).


The loading gauge takes this into account. The clearance allowed on
top of the minimum points of the structure gauge includes space for
the kinematic envelope; a larger clearance is needed at higher speeds,
or with bouncier trains and speed restrictions (reducing the kinematic
envelope) might be needed to allow trains to fit through any tight
spots.
