Comments in [ ] brackets are added by the compiler for clarity (he hopes). Dates, eg 28-02-1959, are in Day – Month – Year order. ‘[M]’ means a very short reference to the subject in the M&GN Minutes. From B361, Minutes of the M&GN Committee meetings were included in most issues. These have been indexed under their subject headings and also separately where they were expanded upon. Where the [M] precedes the Bulletin references, all the references are for Minute entries (eg: Progress 1900 [M] 466/4 468/4 470/5 472/5). Financial and Clerical matters (which are generally in every set of Minutes), and some other minor matters are only included if of particular interest. For Minutes from B502, some of the entries are paragraphs much longer than just a sentence and are not recorded with the [M] as they give more than just basic information. Minutes dating from before 1893 are also shown as [M]. Photographs and photocopies of original documents did not appear in the Bulletin until B183. Any earlier references to them are descriptions or transcriptions only. For details of these, please see the separate Index of Photographs, Drawings and Plans. (S) means issued as a supplement to the Bulletin listed. B294 was August/September 1985, there was no separate August Issue. Subject headings are in bold type to make it easier to see where the next subject begins, especially for larger listings, eg Cromer etc. If you cannot find the article for which you are looking under the heading you expect it to be under, please try looking for other major words, eg Accident at Hindolveston will be under ‘Accidents’ and ‘Hindolveston’. Most major articles are cross-referenced within the index but some will undoubtedly have slipped through the net. Users of the electronic version can press ‘Ctrl + F’, type in the subject they are looking for and click ‘Find Next’. THE COMPILER WARMLY WELCOMES CORRECTIONS AND AMENDMENTS.

  • U DYE WB Yeadon London & North Eastern 1847-1997 Railway Collection
    Hull History Centre: W.B. Yeadon London & North Eastern Railway collection U DYE W.B. Yeadon London & North Eastern 1847-1997 Railway collection Historical background: Willie Brayshaw Yeadon was born in Yeadon in the West Riding of Yorkshire on 28 June 1907. After his schooldays, he trained to become a mechanical engineer, and started work with Bradford Dyers, but was unfortunately made redundant in 1930 following the onset of terrible trading conditions. In 1931 he joined JH Fenner Ltd in Hull ('makers of improved beltings'), eventually becoming Sales Manager and then Marketing Manager, until his official retirement in 1972. He died at the age of 89 on 16 January 1997 in Hull Royal Infirmary after a short illness. By then he had become probably the country's leading authority on the London & North Eastern Railway and its locomotives. Indeed, Eric Fry, honorary editor of 'Locomotives of the LNER', writing in the 'Railway Observer' in March 1997, described him as possibly 'the foremost locomotive historian of all time'. Willie Yeadon's earliest railway interest had been the London & North Western Railway, with visits and family holidays to Shap summit and Tebay. On his removal to Hull, however, the London & North Eastern Railway became his main preoccupation, and he was particularly inspired by the development and progress of Sir Nigel Gresley's Pacific class locomotives during the 1930s. He began to collect railway photographs in 1933, and continued his interest after railway nationalisation in 1948. The British Railways modernisation programme undertaken from the mid - 1950s prompted him to investigate and record the history of every LNER locomotive.

  • Waterbury Train Station Visual Inspection Report January 2007
    WATERBURY TRAIN STATION VISUAL INSPECTION REPORT January 2007 Prepared by the Bureau of Public Transportation Connecticut Department of Transportation Waterbury Train Station Visual Inspection Report January 2007 Overview: The Waterbury Train Station is located near the city’s central business district. Adjacent to the facility is the old Union Station, now owned and occupied by the Waterbury Republican newspaper. Its 245-foot bell tower provides a landmark for locating the station. Using local roads to access the facility is not as easy due to a lack of trailblazing. Upon arriving at the station, one may have trouble locating the parking lot entrance, which is located several hundred feet south. A station sign has been placed at the entrance. The drive is partially obscured by a bank building and its poorly situated exit, which is only several feet from the parking lot driveway. The station itself consists of a short high- level platform, a ramp, two shelters and a parking lot. The station area is clean with only an occasional tossed item. However, the area across from the platform consists of abandoned tracks and railroad debris. The shelters are clean with benches. A recycling bin is located next to the shelters. Between the station and Meadow Street are an abandoned parking structure and vacant office building. The old driveway behind the platform is barricaded against use by commuters. A kiosk is situated at the north end of the platform.

  • The Roads and Railways
    The Roads and Railways ntil the eighteenth century, villagers travelled slowly on local by- ways and drove roads. Local landowners and gentry helped improve Utransport by financing the first turnpike roads at the end of the seventeenth century. They were managed by local trusts and the costs of construction were recouped by tolls collected by pikemen. The Temple family of Stowe helped finance the turnpike that passed Finmere. It ran from Bedford via Stony Stratford, Buckingham, Tingewick, Aynho and Banbury to Warmington in Warwickshire. The section that bypassed Finmere (the old B4031) was the first to be built in 1744. There was a turnpike at ‘Finmere 1784 2000 Warren Gates,’ the tolls from which produced an income of £253 a year in 1784. After construction of the turnpike, the old Roman road was left as a £253 £20,000 bridleway. In 1813, a turnpike branch was laid from the Red Lion to Bicester. The Stowe Road Dadford ord Temple, Richard Grenville, inherited Stowe in 1749.

    Rolling Stock: Locomotives and Rail Cars Industry & Trade Summary Office of Industries Publication ITS-08 March 2011 Control No. 2011001 UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION Karen Laney Acting Director of Operations Michael Anderson Acting Director, Office of Industries This report was principally prepared by: Peder Andersen, Office of Industries [email protected] With supporting assistance from: Monica Reed, Office of Industries Wanda Tolson, Office of Industries Under the direction of: Deborah McNay, Acting Chief Advanced Technology and Machinery Division Cover photo: Courtesy of BNSF Railway Co. Address all communication to Secretary to the Commission United States International Trade Commission Washington, DC 20436 www.usitc.gov Preface The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has initiated its current Industry and Trade Summary series of reports to provide information on the rapidly evolving trade and competitive situation of the thousands of products imported into and exported from the United States. Over the past 20 years, U.S. international trade in goods and services has risen by almost 350 percent, compared to an increase of 180 percent in the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), before falling sharply in late 2008 and 2009 due to the economic downturn. During the same two decades, international supply chains have become more global and competition has increased. Each Industry and Trade Summary addresses a different commodity or industry and contains information on trends in consumption, production, and trade, as well as an analysis of factors affecting industry trends and competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets. This report on the railway rolling stock industry primarily covers the period from 2004 to 2009, and includes data for 2010 where available.
