Found this in wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_rail_terminology#D
They say this is US term, but I bet the brits has a similarly hard-to-define term.
Also found this colorful explanation of the swe term -- http://www.trafikminnen.se/ingwars_vagntransport.html
This guy was driving an empty bus to get it from one place it wasn't needed to another place it was needed. I used to know this as 'deadhauling'--but I think that applies to road transport with an empty trailer.

Found these googling 'deadhead': http://www.spenak.com/lexicon.Deadhead.539.html and http://www.xplog.fr/glossaire-transport/?lang=en#
Looks like deadhauling is 'passé'

RBell01
: 'carriage transport' makes no real sense. 'carriage' is the area in which passengers sit. I would suggest 'if the train is to take carriages' in the context as it refers to whether or not the train engine will be pulling carriages on its journey
