 How to read the Calkowo timetable?

(1/3) > >>

Quaxo76:
Hello,
I really like driving the Line 53 - Calkowo route. I like the blend of fast and slow, old and new. But I have some problems following the timetable (the file is found at inne/l053_calkowo/MPEi58101_0.pdf ).
At the various stations, there are several markings - like R1, M, OT, H, RT, PP, L, and so on. I have no idea what they mean, so I have no idea what I have to do at every station. Is there a place where I can learn how to read those timetables?

Thanks,
Cristian

Here are explanations of these symbols, but only in Polish language.

Quaxo76:
Thank you very much. I ran the site through a translator and I understood at least part of it.
Am I wrong or all those symbols don't say anything about the actual services I have to do at those stations in the simulator? To correctly run the timetable I don't need those symbols, right? I only need to know at which stations to stop, and where to wait for an incoming train... right? :)

MaciejM:
Yes. These symbols are in timetables because same symbols are in timetables in Polish rail, e.g.: http://www.kolej.db.hostdmk.net/s/rozklady/obrazek1.jpg .

Thank you again.
Now, can I ask you if I understood all the fields correctly?
1) The Nr. Linii column describes the actual line of that part of the trip;
2) Km means the distance indicator along that line, as indicated by the numeric signals by the track, near the ground;
3) Vp and Vl are speeds, but what is the difference between the two?
4) Stacja is the name of the station, with the distance in Km along the line, and the symbols we talked about above;
5a) Godzina: the time at which you pass the station. If there are two times there, one is the arrival and one is the departure.
5b) Godzina, second part: appears to be the time in minutes between a station and the next, but why are there two of them sometimes?
6) If in the Godzina cell there is the name of another train, I must wait for that incoming train before continuing;
7) A thick vertical line means single track line, while a double line means double track;
8) LOKI/II/III means the locomotive I'm using;
9) Brutto, Dl.Poc., Vmax, %: I have no idea! What are they?

Regards from Italy,
Cristian

PS - In real life I'm a train conductor here in Italy... We have train documents not unlike these ones, but quite different of course! :)
