The Pullman Car History featured ‘Third Class CAR No.50’. I wrongly detailed the post 1960 schedule number as being No.160, this should have read No.147, and that the car was 2 x 12 wheel and not 2 x 8 wheel.

(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 introduced to direct attention to a question of vast importance to a country which has practically all its railway future still before it, and also because location along pioneer lines is believed to be suited to existing financial conditions.

This report presents the results of an analysis of the impact that international freight traffic barriers have on logistics, transit potential, and development of transport corridors traversing EAEU member states. The authors of EDB Centre for Integration Studies Report No. 49 maintain that, if current railway freight rates and Chinese railway subsidies remain in place, by 2020 container traffic along the China-EAEU-EU axis may reach 250,000 FEU. At the same time, long-term freight traffic growth is restricted by a number of internal and external factors. The question is: What can be done to fully realise the existing trans-Eurasian transit potential? Removal of non-tariff and technical barriers is one of the key target areas. Restrictions discussed in this report include infrastructural (transport and logistical infrastructure), border/customs-related, and administrative/legal restrictions. The findings of a survey conducted among European consignors is a valuable source of information on these subjects. The authors present their recommendations regarding what can be done to remove the barriers that hamper international freight traffic along the China-EAEU-EU axis.

  • Narrow-Gauge Railways, of Two Feet Gauge and Under
    376 JULY 1898. NARROW-GAUGE RAILWAYS, OF TWO FEET GAUGE AND UNDER. - BY Mn. LESLIE S. ROBERTSON, OF LONDON. __ The circumstance that the Members of the Institution are to have the opportunity, through the courtesy of Sir Arthur Percival Heywood, Bart., of inspecting an interesting example of a very Narrow-Gauge Line of his own design, ?or which all the details, mechanical and otherwise, have been carefully thought out by its designer-and the coincidence that this meeting of the Institution is being held under the presidency of one of the leading locomotive engineers of this country-render the present a favourable opportunity for bringing before the Institution some facts in connection with this class of Light Railways. The whole subject of light railways cannot be treated within the limits of the present short paper, which is confined to narrow-gauge railways of two feet gauge and under: although the author is personally of opinion that the circumstances which would justify the adoption of a gauge under two feet must be of an exceptional character. Comparatively few engineers realise the capability of narrow-gauge railways, and the saving that can be effected by their adoption, when applied to large industrial undertakings. Several instances have come under the author's notice, where the judicious adoption of light narrow-gauge lines, such as those dealt with in this paper, has resulted in considerable financial benefit to those concerned in them. Reasons for adoption.-Narrow-gauge lines of this class may be roughly divided into two categories:-first, where the work to be done is of a permanent and constant nature, enabling the line'to be laid down as a fixture ; and second, where the work is of a temporary character.

  • Passenger Train Services Over Unusual Lines
    Passenger Train Services over Unusual Lines listing regular passenger trains over obscure rail routes in the British Isles 2017 Compiled by Richard Maund This page was first uploaded on 17 December 2016. Up-dated on 23 December 2019 For Explanation of references and other general information: please refer to the Introduction. Unless otherwise indicated, trains operated from Sunday 11 December 2016 until Saturday 9 December 2017. All dates quoted are inclusive, but services and timings were subject to further and short notice alteration at any time - particularly on public holidays. Southern Railway operated a reduced service throughout their network from 6 December 2016 until 23 January 2017 (when not strike-bound) with no weekday service between Clapham Junction and Watford Junction, and no service between Crystal Palace, Bromley Junctions and Beckenham Junction. They also operated a reduced Monday to Friday service throughout their network from 29 June 2017 (but purportedly a near normal service on Saturdays and Sundays) until industrial action was suspended from ca.20 July or (in practice) following week. During such periods, on Mondays to Fridays there was only limited service between Clapham Junction and Watford Junction, and between Crystal Palace, Bromley Junctions and Beckenham Junction, and the single train via Tulse Hill Junction - Leigham Junction was susceptible to suspension.
