    INCORPORATED 1952 NUMBER 446 DECEMBER 1986 mcmr ewismns UPPER CANADA RAILWAY SOCIETY BOX 122 STATION "A" TORONTO, ONTARIO A Neoplan articulated trolley coach, equipped with a diesel engine for off wire operation, was tested in Hamilton during the last week of November, 1986, and was due at the TTC for 2i weeks of testing immediately afterward. Photo taken on HSR's King route, at Strath- Preserved locomotives and passenger cars at the NRZ Railway Museum, Raylton, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. The building in the background houses and exhibits the smaller pieces of railroadiana. I i •] T ' • . I^ I., Iji .r !•,.!• 1 i rl • I . .: ! 1 In mid-October, 1986, this was the scene west of Pickering, where the erstwhile GO-ALRT line was being constructed, requiring two temporary bridges under CN's York Sub. (MacMillan Yd. access line). The bridge, far right, carries the access line across Hwy. 401. ... mi. --John D. Thompson DECEMBER 1986 3 A RAILWAY MUSEUM FOR ZIMBABWE By Sandy Worthen It is easy to understand why railways developed so rapidly in England, ttfe land of their birth, in the first half of the 19th cet|tury- And so it is quite logical that one of the world's finest railway museums, the National Museum at York, England, should have been established at an early date. When George Stephenson's LOCOMOTION hauled the first steam powered train on any public railway in the world on Sept. 27, 1825, from Shildon to Stockton-Quay, with 10 loaded coal trucks, 21 waggons fitted with temporary seats and a solitary passenger coach named EXPERIMENT, it was certain that, one day, someone would have the idea of saving some railway equipment to commemorate this historic event.

  • The Evolution of the Steam Locomotive, 1803 to 1898 (1899)
    > g s J> ° "^ Q as : F7 lA-dh-**^) THE EVOLUTION OF THE STEAM LOCOMOTIVE (1803 to 1898.) BY Q. A. SEKON, Editor of the "Railway Magazine" and "Hallway Year Book, Author of "A History of the Great Western Railway," *•., 4*. SECOND EDITION (Enlarged). £on&on THE RAILWAY PUBLISHING CO., Ltd., 79 and 80, Temple Chambers, Temple Avenue, E.C. 1899. T3 in PKEFACE TO SECOND EDITION. When, ten days ago, the first copy of the " Evolution of the Steam Locomotive" was ready for sale, I did not expect to be called upon to write a preface for a new edition before 240 hours had expired. The author cannot but be gratified to know that the whole of the extremely large first edition was exhausted practically upon publication, and since many would-be readers are still unsupplied, the demand for another edition is pressing. Under these circumstances but slight modifications have been made in the original text, although additional particulars and illustrations have been inserted in the new edition. The new matter relates to the locomotives of the North Staffordshire, London., Tilbury, and Southend, Great Western, and London and North Western Railways. I sincerely thank the many correspondents who, in the few days that have elapsed since the publication: of the "Evolution of the , Steam Locomotive," have so readily assured me of - their hearty appreciation of the book. rj .;! G. A. SEKON. -! January, 1899. PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. In connection with the marvellous growth of our railway system there is nothing of so paramount importance and interest as the evolution of the locomotive steam engine.

  • The Steam Locomotive Table, V1
    The Steam Locomotive Table, v1 If you’re reading this; you either like steam trains, or want to know more about them. Hopefully, either way, I can scratch your itch with this; a set of randomizer/dice-roll tables of my own making; as inspired by some similar tables for tanks and aircrafts. Bear with me, I know not everyone knows the things I do, and I sure know I don’t know a lot of things other train enthusiasts do; but hopefully the descriptions and examples will be enough to get anyone through this smoothly. To begin, you’ll either want a bunch of dice or any online dice-rolling/number generating site (or just pick at your own whim); and somewhere or something to keep track of the details. These tables will give details of a presumed (roughly) standard steam locomotive. No sentinels or other engines with vertical boilers; no climax, shay, etc specially driven locomotives; are considered for this listing as they can change many of the fundamental details of an engine. Go in expecting to make the likes of mainline, branchline, dockyard, etc engines; not the likes of experiments like Bulleid’s Leader or specific industry engines like the aforementioned logging shays. Some dice rolls will have uneven distribution, such as “1-4, and 5-6”. Typically this means that the less likely detail is also one that is/was significantly less common in real life, or significantly more complex to depict. For clarity sake examples will be linked, but you’re always encouraged to look up more as you would like or feel necessary.

  • 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.
