Suosituksen perustelu
Considering the condition of the track, the 40 km/h speed limit is too high, especially at curves, for wagons fully loaded with wood.
Recommendation
Track curves that are in poor condition should be identified and these curves should have a speed limit of 20 km/h for trains with an axis weight of 16–20 tons, until the necessary repairs have been completed.
