(2)  the speed of the vehicle shall be limited to half the speed normally used for the transportation of other materials;

(3)  no more than 6,000 kg (13,228 lb.) of explosives may be transported. Despite the foregoing, if detonators or other blasting accessories are transported with explosives, the maximum load must be 3,000 kg (6,614 lb.);

(4)  in the case of transportation of explosives in a motorized vehicle on rails:

(b)  where the locomotive is a trolley locomotive, every car transporting explosives shall be entirely closed;

Such explosive substances shall, however, be secured to prevent their movement or spillage during transportation.
