German Signalling: Zugfahrten vs. Rangieren, shunting speed limits (Train Sim World tutorial)
Digging deeper into German operating rules we are examining some terms and regulations associated with the distinction between train services (Zugfahrten) and shunting services (Rangierfahrten), that constitutes the base for many different signalling rules and applicable speed limits.
Full high-speed passenger service on the ICE 3 (DB BR 403) from Munich main station to Augsburg main station in Dovetail Games' Hauptstrecke München Augsburg DLC, featuring short discussions about the terminology of different types of rail vehicle movements (11:35), the rules on how train services and shunting services can transition into each other (30:25), and the speed restrictions applicable for shunting services (37:38).
Also discussed are "silent" PZB monitorings during the LZB end procedure (1:14:40).
