The time allowed for the conveyance of traffic by Goods Train on French Railways is calculated at the rate of 24 hours for every 125 kilometres (77½ miles), or a fraction thereof. Any fraction of and including 25 kilometres (15½ miles) in excess of this distance (125 kilometres), is not taken into account. Thus 150 kilometres are calculated as 125 kilometres, as shewn hereafter.
