The tariff of the Dutch Rhenish Railway is divided into the following classes:—
(a) Fast goods, which are usually forwarded by mixed Goods and Passenger trains and by Fast Goods trains.
(b) General Goods in quantities of less than 5 tons not mentioned in the classification as belonging to another class. (Class I.)
(c) General Goods in quantities of less than 5 tons which pay less according to classification. (Class II.)
Goods of these two Classes in lots of at least 5 tons pay the rate of Class A.
(d) Bulk Goods which in quantities of at least 5 tons, or quantities which are charged as if for that weight, are carried at reduced rates. These are subdivided into Classes A, B, C and D. Goods belonging to Class A, in quantities of 10 tons in one truck are carried at the rates of Class B.
(e) Special class—Goods which in consignments of 10 tons, or paying for that weight, are carried at special reduced rates.
Goods in the Special Class must be in lots of 10,000 kilos. (10 Tons.) If a consignment weighed 11,000 kilos., the first 10,000 kilos, would be charged at the Special Rate, and the remaining 1,000 kilos. at the rate for Class I.
