I remember a Victorian Civil Engineer telling me a few years ago that
they could not justify buying 60Kg over 53kg for the axle loading

Also in South East Asia most of the railways have committed to UIC54
rather than the heavier stuff, although I have seen some very worn UIC54
carrying only 12t axle loads!
