Railway Seaside Holiday Posters Along the Scenic Coast From
Railway Seaside Holiday Posters along the Scenic Coast from Scarborough to Whitby Including a brief history of the Railway Line and its Stations By Stephen Riley The Scarborough and Whitby Railway line followed a difficult but scenic route along the North Yorkshire coast. It eventually opened on 16th July 1885 long after the first proposal to open a line between Scarborough and Whitby in 1848. One of the problems in building a line was the hilly topography and many of the early schemes failed because of the difficulty finding an economic route and raising sufficient capital to construct the line. Before this time the coast between Scarborough and Whitby was rarely visited by holidaymakers and Robin Hood’s Bay was a relatively unknown fishing village. A bill was put before Parliament and received Royal Assent on 5th July 1865 authorising the incorporation of the Scarborough & Whitby Railway. Their planned line was not started due to insufficient finance. In 1870 a new route was proposed and this time funds became available, construction work starting on 3rd June 1872. Progress was exceedingly slow and by 1877 work on the line came to a halt when insufficient capital could not be raised to complete it and the original engineer and contractor pulled out. The work resumed in June 1881 with the appointment of new contractors John Waddell & Son under new engineers, Sir Charles Fox & Sons who completed the line, included the building of a 13-arch red brick viaduct over the River Esk near Whitby. The official opening of the Scarborough & Whitby Railway (S&WR) took place a day before public services commenced, on 15 July 1885, with a special train for the directors of the company and dignitaries from Scarborough and Whitby. -
Preserved Coaching Stock of British Railways Part
PRESERVED COACHING STOCK OF BRITISH RAILWAYS PART TWO GROUPING DESIGN STOCK Locomotive Hauled Passenger Carrying and Non-Passenger Carrying Coaching Stock built to Grouping Company Designs Peter Hall 7 Barnes Avenue, Dronfield Woodhouse, Dronfield, S18 8YF Email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION The intention of this document is to give details of locomotive hauled passenger and non-passenger carrying coaching stock built to Grouping Company designs that can now be considered to be in a preserved or similar status. Thus, not included is coaching stock in regular use on the National Railway network or awaiting disposal or further use having seen use on the National Railway network. Certain items of coaching stock included here could though, see use on the National Railway network on an occasional basis or as part of a heritage train formation. Not included here are the various carriages that have been subsequently sold overseas for further use or preservation Before proceeding further it is worthwhile explaining the ground rules used to decide which vehicles are and are not included within this document. The chronological boundaries for inclusion can be generally stated as carriages constructed by the four grouping companies, Great Western Railway, Southern Railway, London, Midland and Scottish Railway and London and North Eastern Railway and in addition carriages of the Pullman Car Company and Wagon-Lits of the same era, used in Great Britain. However the boundaries have been extended to cover carriages to the grouping company designs produced in the years following nationalisation, until such times as their designs were superseded by British Railways standard designs. -
A Massive Restoration in Bulgaria
Eastern Star Journal of the New Europe MarchRailway 2014 Heritage Trust, helping railway preservation in the New Europe Number 56 December 2014 A Massive Restoration in Bulgaria One of the Bulgarian State Railways’ 46 Class locomotives, reputed to be Europe’s largest tank engines, is shown here under restoration in the Sofia locomotive depot. This 2-12-4T should be ready for operation in 2015. Tsanko Simeonov writes: The development of railways is closely related to many records. Many of us want to ride on the TGV in France or Shinkansen in Japan, or to reach Gornegrat by the remarkable rack railway of the Swiss Railways. Bulgarian Railways also offer unique experiences for railway enthusiasts – rides through the picturesque narrow-gauge line Septemvri – Dobrinishte or through the Iskar Gorge near Sofia on trains hauled by several restored steam locomotives – 609.76, 01.23, 03.12 and 05.01. The rides will be far more exciting, as completion of restoration work on one of the two preserved steam 2-12-4T locomotives, No.46.03, is scheduled for the first half of 2015. The locomotives of the class 46 are well known as the most powerful steam locomotives of BDZ and the largest tank locomotives in Europe. How it all began Several tourist operators showed quite a strong interest in the restoration of the locomotive 46.03. BDZ agreed to check the possibility for the restoration and sent a team of experts to pre-evaluate the technical condition of the locomotive at the Asenovo depot during the autumn of 2013. The results were satisfactory - the locomotive was almost fully equipped and with minor defects. -

Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe
Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe Version 3 December 2017 This publication was prepared by Oleh Shchuryk, Research & Projects Manager, ECG – the Association of European Vehicle Logistics. Foreword The project to produce this book on ‘Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe’ was initiated during the ECG Land Transport Working Group meeting in January 2014, Frankfurt am Main. Initially, it was suggested by the members of the group that Oleh Shchuryk prepares a short briefing paper about the current status quo of rail transport and FVLs by rail in Europe. It was to be a concise document explaining the complex nature of rail, its difficulties and challenges, main players, and their roles and responsibilities to be used by ECG’s members. However, it rapidly grew way beyond these simple objectives as you will see. The first draft of the project was presented at the following Land Transport WG meeting which took place in May 2014, Frankfurt am Main. It received further support from the group and in order to gain more knowledge on specific rail technical issues it was decided that ECG should organise site visits with rail technical experts of ECG member companies at their railway operations sites. These were held with DB Schenker Rail Automotive in Frankfurt am Main, BLG Automotive in Bremerhaven, ARS Altmann in Wolnzach, and STVA in Valenton and Paris. As a result of these collaborations, and continuous research on various rail issues, the document was extensively enlarged. The document consists of several parts, namely a historical section that covers railway development in Europe and specific EU countries; a technical section that discusses the different technical issues of the railway (gauges, electrification, controlling and signalling systems, etc.); a section on the liberalisation process in Europe; a section on the key rail players, and a section on logistics services provided by rail. -
