  • THE NORTH STAR CHRONICLES – a Newsletter Primarily for the Model Railway Fraternity
    THE NORTH STAR CHRONICLES – a newsletter primarily for the model railway fraternity Volume 7 no 6 June 2019 Editor: David Cairns e-mail: [email protected] Website for back copies: [email protected] Phone: +27 82 653 5642 Editorial The feature article this month is the Dinorwic Slate Museum and associated Llanberis Lake Railway. Because of space considerations Gary Smith’s ‘fleshing out’ of his museum project will be held over until next month. National Slate Museum/Dinorwic quarry/Llanberis Railway By way of introduction, at the turn of the twentieth century, Wales had two main industries – coal mining and slate extraction. At their peaks the former industry employed some 270000 people at 620 mines and the latter 17000. These quantities do not include the large numbers of people involved in the industries serving coal and slate – rail and ship transport etc. Apart from a few scattered operations involving small numbers, both industries have effectively closed. The effect on employment numbers and the communities that depended on them was catastrophic. Today Wales, particularly the western, middle and north areas, is one large recreation area for tourists. When I was there, not hundreds but thousands of people could be seen hiking and riding the many narrow gauge lines that exist in Wales and that was in April when there was still snow on the hilltops! In other words the death of traditional industries has been replaced with a vibrant new industry – tourism. 1 The National Slate Museum is located at Gilfach Ddu, Llanberis, in the disused workshops of the Dinorwic quarry.

  • 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.

Introduction 8 2. Rail closures 9 3. Reopening and reinstatement 12 4. Obstacles to reinstatement of closed lines 16 5. Safeguarding alignments 19 6. Reopening and the planning system 21 7. Reopening of freight-only or mothballed lines 24 8. Reinstatement of demolished lines 29 9. New railways 38 10. Conclusions 39 Appendix 1 41 2 Smart Growth UK __________________________________________________________________________ Smart Growth UK is an informal coalition of organisations and individuals who want to promote the Smart Growth approach to planning, transportation and communities. Smart Growth is an international movement dedicated to more sustainable approaches to these issues. In the UK it is based around a set of principles agreed by the organisations that support the Smart Growth UK coalition in 2013:- Urban areas work best when they are compact, with densities appropriate to local circumstances but generally significantly higher than low-density suburbia and avoiding high-rise. In addition to higher density, layouts are needed that prioritize walking, cycling and public transport so that they become the norm. We need to reduce our dependence on private motor vehicles by improving public transport, rail-based where possible, and concentrating development in urban areas. We should protect the countryside, farmland, natural beauty, open space, soil and biodiversity, avoiding urban sprawl and out-of-town development. We should protect and promote local distinctiveness and character and our heritage, respecting and making best use of historic buildings, street forms and settlement patterns.

  • A Brief History of Railroad Operating Rules, Signaling and Train Control
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF RAILROAD OPERATING RULES, SIGNALING AND TRAIN CONTROL Rules Education Transportation Department Operation of a railroad is governed by rules, issued to employees in the form of the “Book of Rules”. Usually they follow a more or less standard form. They specify general duties of various employees in the Operating Department and attempt to systematize their actions in any situation that may arise in operating trains. Like the Rules of the Road when driving an automobile. Rules Education Transportation Department There are several “Books of Rules” currently used by railroads in the United States. All rule books currently in use evolved from the: Uniform Train Rules and Rules for the Movement of Trains by Telegraphic Orders Adopted by the General Time Convention of the American Railroad Association in July of 1889 as the authorized Standard Code. Rules Education Transportation Department Originally, the General Time Convention was responsible for the establishment of Standard Time and the Time Zones in the United States on November 18, 1883. Congress officially adopted Standard Time and the Time Zones by the Standard Time Act of 1918. Rules Education Transportation Department The American Railroad Association became the Association of American Railroads in 1937. In 1938, the Uniform Train Rules and Rules for the Movement of Trains by Telegraphic Orders was renamed the Standard Code of Operating Rules. Rules Education Transportation Department Metra has adopted the General Code of Operating Rules. Over 300 other railroads, including the BNSF Railway, Canadian Pacific and Union Pacific Railroad have also adopted the GCOR. Rules Education Transportation Department Approximately 60 eastern railroads have adopted the Northeast Operating Rules Advisory Committee (NORAC) Operating Rules.
