Reading about a new railroad that just began construction in Russia and it got me thinking about freight traffic in tons vs freight traffic in trains:http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/infrastructure/single-view/view/construction-of-northern-latitudinal-railway-to-start-in-2019.html …

This is something I've always wondered about: train weight? track quality? what are the variables?
-
Presence or absence of sidings, signalling system, train speeds, train lengths, track quality--those are the ones that come to mind immediately

Ah, I messed up here, yes. In 2014, before we suffered a 30% decrease in freight, our bottleneck had an average of 25 freight trains per day + 19 passenger trains. That was considered at 100% capacity.
-
I see that some of our single track lines could hold 40 to 44 pairs of freight trains while others as little as 10 or 26
-
The line with a capacity of 10 pairs has such a low capacity due to ПАБ blocking that doesn't allow more than one train at a time on the single track part between stations. Instead of allowing multiple at once in the same direction.
