  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

Rae, ph D 181 indexes 213 INTRODUCTORY ESSAY by Professor R. H. Campbell1 most accounts of the industrial history of Scotland concentrate on the leading textile and heavy industries of the last two hundred years and centre geographically on the life of west-central Scotland. Documentary deficiencies lead to further concentration on the activities of large and successful firms. Lack of an analysis of the defects of Scottish industry, of failure as well as of success, of decline as well as of growth, and in places and industries other than the great staples of the central belt, is characteristic of the historio- graphy of Scottish industry, even in the increased work on Scottish industrial history of recent years. The miscellany is a timely corrective to this failure. Its diverse documents show industrial ventures operating in remote parts of the country and not only in west-central Scotland; an interest in mineral deposits now largely forgotten; commercial links stretching directly even to London from a minor woollen enterprise in the Borders; activities, such as the railways, which, while ruinous to individuals even in years of general industrial prosperity in Scotland, were beneficial to society in the long run.

    Caledonian Railway Association Archive CATALOGUE Title Caledonian Railway Association Archive Reference CRA Dates of 1840 – date creation Extent 22 metres Name of creator Caledonian Railway Association (railway association: 1983-: Glasgow, Scotland) Administrative The Caledonian Railway Association (CRA) was established 1983 to promote the study, history acquisition and preservation of information, documents, illustrations and artefacts relating to the Caledonian Railway, its constituents and successor companies and to facilitate research into the history of the Company, by fostering the collation and dissemination of the information collected. The CRA publishes a quarterly Journal The True Line (free to members) and hosts talks in Glasgow on first Saturday of October, November, December and February. Membership is open to all and the membership year is from 1st May. The Caledonian Railway Company, Scotland, was incorporated by the Caledonian Railway Act of 1845. The line provided a service from Carlisle, England, to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Greenhill (near Castlecary), Scotland. The first section of the railway between Carlisle and Beattock, Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland, was opened in 1847. The line was completed to Glasgow and Edinburgh, along with line to Castlecary, Stirlingshire in 1848 where it joined the Scottish Central Railway. The line to Glasgow utilised the earlier railways Glasgow, Garnkirk & Coatbridge, and the Wishaw & Coltness, which it purchased in 1846 and 1849 respectively. In 1853, Edinburgh Station, Edinburgh, was opened along with a line from Slateford, Edinburgh to Haymarket, Edinburgh. The Company expanded by acquisition and amalgamation as well as by building new lines. Between 1849 and 1864 the company repeatedly tried to absorb the Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway Co.
