Peak operation

The operating peak is the point on a railway line that can partially not or no longer be operated until railway operations are possible.

In practice, two constellations are conceivable in which an operating peak occurs:

• A railway line that is being rebuilt in several sections. Here, the peak of operations is the point to which trains can already travel. A distinction must be made here once again between regular operation and traffic with construction trains . The point up to which traffic with regular trains is possible is usually referred to as peak operation.
• A railway line on which railway operation was originally possible over a longer route, but which can now only be traveled up to a certain point - the peak of operations - be it due to construction work, natural disasters or the effects of war .
