    1 the WALKING HORSE and CLARKE's RAILWAY Derek

    THE WALKING HORSE and CLARKE’S RAILWAY Derek Winstanley 2013 is an important milestone in railway history; it is the bicentennial of the start of operation of the third commercially successful steam locomotive in the world. Richard Daglish and Donald Anderson have documented that Robert Daglish built a steam locomotive for John Clarke at Haigh Foundry; Clarke was a Liverpool banker and owner of Winstanley and Orrell colliery and railway. That locomotive was known as The Yorkshire Horse, or The Walking Horse. Although it is most commonly known as The Yorkshire Horse, I prefer to call it The Walking Horse, for reasons that I will explain. Richard Daglish has provided details of the steam locomotive, wagons and track. Anderson documents the development of the steam locomotive and the railroad in the context of the development of the Winstanley and Orrell Coalfield. Robert Daglish himself documented that The Walking Horse was the first commercially successful steam locomotive in Lancashire, but nobody has documented the role of The Walking Horse and Clarke’s railway in the railway history of the world. This is what I attempt to do. In the Wigan area, wooden wagonways transported loaded wagons of coal from the Orrell coalfield in controlled descents, first to the Douglas Navigation in the 1770s and starting in 1784 to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Haulage of loaded wagons uphill was to be avoided. In 1792, John Clarke and his Liverpool partners leased land from Squire William Bankes of Winstanley Hall and started to mine coal in Winstanley, to the south of Smithy Brook.

More than 3.7 bil- Sean D. Logan, Director lion tons of Ohio coal has been mined since 1800, and recent DIVISION OF GEOLOGICAL SURVEY fi gures indicate that Ohio is the 3rd largest coal-consuming Larry Wickstrom, Chief state in the nation, consuming about 62 million tons per year. Ohio ranks 13th in the nation in coal production, and 7th in terms of demonstrated coal reserves with approximately 23.3 billion short tons, or 4.7% of the nation’s total coal reserves. (“Demonstrated Coal Reserve” is a term used to identify the part of the total resource that is potentially mineable when considering economic, legal, and engineering constraints). At present production levels, Ohio has more than 500 years worth of potentially mineable coal remaining. GEOLOGY OF COAL Th e coal-bearing rocks of Ohio were deposited during the Pennsylvanian and Permian Periods, approximately 320 to 245 million years ago. During Pennsylvanian time, or the great Coal Age, a shallow sea covered central Ohio. A series of river deltas extended into this sea carrying sediments that eroded from the ancestral Appalachian Mountains and fl owed northwest into the deltas. Extensive freshwater and brackish-water peat-forming COAL ecosystems formed in these low-lying coastal and near-coastal deltas, which were similar to those of the current Mississippi and Amazon Rivers. Th ese peat swamps remained undisturbed for thousands of years.
  • The Coal Mining Heritage of Lafayette

    The Coal Mining Heritage of Lafayette

    The Coal Mining Heritage of Lafayette From the late I 880s until the I 930s, Lafayette was a major coal town. Read the history of the coal mining era, examine the location of coal mines within the Lafayette area, and enjoy historic photos of the Waneka Lake Power Plant and the Simpson Mine with the attached Coal Mines of the Lafaveti’e Area brochure. This brochure was created by the Lafayette Historic Preservation board, and it highlights the fascinating Coal Mining Heritage of Lafayette. oft/ic — • Coal Mines Lafayette Area page 1 • Coal Mines of the Lafayette Area - page 2 • Coal Mines f the Lfa)’ette Area — map ____________________________ Historic Preservation Board, City of Lafayette, Colorado The social legacy. The social legacy of mining is equally important to contemporary Lafayette The mines required far more labor than was available locally and quickly attracted experienced miners and laborers from Europe and other parts of the U.S. The result was a community comprised of many ethnic groups, including Welsh, English. Scottish, Irish, central European, Hispanic, Italian, and Swedish workers and their families. Local farmers and ranchers also shared in the coal boom and worked as miners in the winter when coal production was high and agricultural work slow. A sense of this ethnic diversity can be gained by walking through the Lafayette cemetery at Baseline and 111th Street. The variety of family names gives a sense of the many nationalities that have contributed to Lafayette’s history. Although the mining life was hard, families were fun-loving and many social activities centered around schools and churches.

(U.Qld.) DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTING, FINANCE & ECONOMICS GRIFFITH BUSINESS SCHOOL GRIFFITH UNIVERSITY Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2006 ii ABSTRACT This thesis describes the rail gauge decision-making processes of the Australian colonies in the period 1850 – 1901. Federation in 1901 delivered a national system of railways to Australia but not a national railway system. Thus the so-called “standard” gauge of 4ft. 8½in. had not become the standard in Australia at Federation in 1901, and has still not. It was found that previous studies did not examine cause and effect in the making of rail gauge choices. This study has done so, and found that rail gauge choice decisions in the period 1850 to 1901 were not merely one-off events. Rather, those choices were part of a search over fifty years by government representatives seeking colonial identity/autonomy and/or platforms for election/re-election. Consistent with this interpretation of the history of rail gauge choice in the Australian colonies, no case was found where rail gauge choice was a function of the disciplined search for the best value-for-money option.

It is also commonly referred to as train transport. In contrast to road transport, where vehicles merely run on a prepared surface, rail vehicles are also directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Track usually consists of steel rails installed on sleepers/ties and ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. However, other variations are also possible, such as slab track where the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in railway transport systems generally has lower frictional resistance when compared with highway vehicles and the passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facilities. Power is provided by locomotives which either draw electrical power from a railway electrification system or produce their own power, usually by diesel engines. Most tracks are accompanied by a signalling system.

  • Passenger Rail (Edited from Wikipedia)

    Passenger Rail (Edited from Wikipedia)

    Passenger Rail (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY A passenger train travels between stations where passengers may embark and disembark. The oversight of the train is the duty of a guard/train manager/conductor. Passenger trains are part of public transport and often make up the stem of the service, with buses feeding to stations. Passenger trains provide long-distance intercity travel, daily commuter trips, or local urban transit services. They even include a diversity of vehicles, operating speeds, right-of-way requirements, and service frequency. Passenger trains usually can be divided into two operations: intercity railway and intracity transit. Whereas as intercity railway involve higher speeds, longer routes, and lower frequency (usually scheduled), intracity transit involves lower speeds, shorter routes, and higher frequency (especially during peak hours). Intercity trains are long-haul trains that operate with few stops between cities. Trains typically have amenities such as a dining car. Some lines also provide over-night services with sleeping cars. Some long-haul trains have been given a specific name. Regional trains are medium distance trains that connect cities with outlying, surrounding areas, or provide a regional service, making more stops and having lower speeds. Commuter trains serve suburbs of urban areas, providing a daily commuting service. Airport rail links provide quick access from city centers to airports. High-speed rail are special inter-city trains that operate at much higher speeds than conventional railways, the limit being regarded at 120 to 200 mph. High-speed trains are used mostly for long-haul service and most systems are in Western Europe and East Asia.
