Isitimela singabhekwa nini njengesitimela esiyigugu?
Context:Umzila wesitimela oyigugu noma umzila wesitimela oyigugu (ukusetshenziswa kwe-US) ngumzila wesitimela osebenza njengomlando ophilayo wokwakha kabusha noma ukulondoloza izigcawu zesitimela esedlule. Imigwaqo yesitimela eyigugu imvamisa imigqa yesitimela endala egcinwe esimweni esibonisa inkathi (noma izinkathi) emlandweni wezokuthutha ngesitimela. I-British Office of Rail and Road ichaza imigwaqo yesitimela eyigugu ngale ndlela elandelayo: "... imigqa enentshisekelo yendawo", imigwaqo yesitimela yeminyuziyamu noma imigwaqo yesitimela yezivakashi eye yagcina noma yathatha umlingiswa nokubukeka nemikhuba yokusebenza yezitimela zesikhathi esedlule. Imigwaqo eminingana esebenza yodwa inikeza izinsiza zokuthutha zangempela, inikeza ukuxhumana komphakathi. Imigwaqo eminingi iyindawo yokuvakasha noma yokufundisa ngokwayo. Iningi lemishini nezinye izinto ezisetshenziswa kulezi zinhlelo ziyizinto zokuqala futhi zinenani elingokomlando ngokwalo. Izinhlelo eziningi zihlose ukuphindaphinda kokubili ukubukeka nemikhuba yokusebenza yezinkampani zesitimela zangaphambili zomlando.
Ngokuvamile, ujantshi ungathathwa njengohlobo lwe-heritage railway lapho uthatha ukubukeka, izici, nokusebenza kwalowo ujantshi kusuka esikhathini esithile esedlule. Lezi zitimela zivame ukuba zindala futhi ziye zalondolozwa ngamabomu ukuze kugcinwe imikhuba yazo yokusebenza kusukela ezikhathini zangaphambilini, ukugcina ngamabomu imishini nezinqubo zangempela zesikhathi esedlule. Eziningi zalezi ziteshi zesitimela ezingamagugu ziyalondolozwa ngenjongo yokufundisa noma njengezindawo zokuheha izivakashi.
