Help with German language map from 1920s

[cardboard_killer]

Can anyone help me understand this map legend? It is from a map of important railway lines in Austria-Hungary in 1914-1918. I have tried google translate, and some things are plain, but others don't make sense to me. Thanks.

The headlines bascially differntiate between normal trains and trains with tracks smaller than 1,5m. The others are hard to tell without deeper knowledge

The maps indicate train connections. The connections are indicated according to their capacity.

 

As I understand the diagram illustrating the line thickness, the color indicates how long freight trains are (numbers of axles) and how many train compositions commute on said connection (number of train compositions/Zugpaare).

 

E.g. the thickest black line (lower left in the legend) indicates a connection that is served by 60 train compositions that are 100 axles long.

 

As the weight per axle is limited and specified, this makes for the total weight of goods that are transported along that route per day.

 

The left three colums indicate standard gauge, while the column on the right indicates a narrow gauge (in consequence less weight per axle, less capacity per train composition). Again thickness indicates the amount of compositions.

 

Solid lines: Black 100 axles, blue 70 axles, red 50 axles.

 

From what I see, the fraction indicated next to the (dashed) line with indicates the quota of military vs. civilian transports.

 

Beautiful old-school German clerk-speak…

 

1) The map contains all lines that as a consequence of military significance have a wartime schedule.

2) In areas where there were [military] operations, furthermore all public transport lines [are added].

3) Inside the Empire, the at times significant cross interconnections.

4) In the northwest and in industrial areas, many lines of local importance are omitted.

5) At node points only scematic representation. Transfer of the full military transport regime from one line to the other is always assured.

 

Not having seen the full map, this is what I can gather. Hope it helps.
