Yes.

I was responding this paragraph:


Isn't it the case that the loading gauge is the maximum size of train
allowed to fit with the structure gauge.
A train has to fit the
defined loading gauge for the route and this means it will
automatically within the structure gauge (plus clearance).


The first sentence is at variance with the second - the first is not
correct because you imply the two gauges are the same. They are not
the same.

The 2nd sentence is more or less correct, so I did not comment.
