Caledonian Railway Association Archive CATALOGUE Issued April 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. into the Caledonian system. If it had succeeded the Caledonian would have had a virtual monopoly of Scottish Railways. In 1865 it absorbed the Scottish Central Railway and in 1866 the Scottish North Eastern Railway and thus extending their line to Callander, Aberdeen and Dundee. The Caledonian Railway also operated a number of lines that it did not own. Among them were the Callander & Oban and the Lanarkshire & Ayrshire Railways. The Caledonian Railway, throughout its history, was in competition for traffic, urban space and local influence with the Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway, the North British Railway and the Glasgow & South Western Railway, in a battle that lasted for nearly 60 years and led to much duplication of lines and services. The company was grouped with the Glasgow & South Western Railway, the Highland Railway, the London & North Western Railway, the Midland Railway and a number of smaller railways across Scotland and England to form the London, Midland & Scottish Railway Co in 1923. This company was nationalised as part of British Rail in 1948. The Forth and Clyde Navigation, started in 1768 along with the Docks at Bowling and Grangemouth, were amalgamated with the Caledonian Railway Company in 1867. The Caledonian Steam Packet Company, incorporated in 1889 to operate Steamers on the Issued April 2017 Page 1 Caledonian Railway Association Archive CATALOGUE Clyde, was a subsidiary of the railway company Scope and The Archive has been brought together by the Caledonian Railway Association.

ETC. ETC. ABERDEEN: GEO. CORNWALL, 54, CASTLE STREET. 1853. ft? *•£*.••• > £ NOTE BY THE PUBLISHER. It is due to the Public to state that, in order to procure informa- tion for the " City " portion of this Directory, from Five to Six Thousand Schedules were issued, for the purpose of being filled up by the Inhabitants. In transcribing these Schedules, the utmost care was taken to preserve the exact address and orthography of Name which had been given; and, still farther to preserve the accuracy of the Work, the ' whole of the Names, after they had been put into type, were again, at a large sacrifice of time, care- fully compared, one by one, with the original Schedules. The " County " Directory, which forms an important part of the Work, has been made up from returns furnished, in almost every instance, by the Schoolmasters of the respective Parishes. To the Gentlemen who have thus so kindly assisted him, the Publisher gladly embraces the present opportunity of returning his most grateful thanks. The short delay which has occurred in getting the Work issued, has been as much a disappointment to the Publisher as it can have been to his Subscribers. To those of them, however, who may have been incommoded by the delay, he begs to offer a respectful apology, and to assure them that, from the complicated and laborious nature of the Work, (this Directory being an entirely new compilation), the delay was found to be quite un- avoidable.

  • 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.

They were also used on some of the prestigious Clyde Coast services. The exception was a batch of 6 Brake composites D 1 03 which were slip coaches whose use was covered in a later section. These coaches were all 65’ long with the exception of the full thirds which were of necessity 68’ long in order to fit in a full 11 compartments. Numbering, withdrawal dates and other details, which have been gleaned from the ‘Coaching and Non-Passenger Coaching Stock Register’ published by the Caledonian Railway Association in 2001, are given in the accompanying tables. The Caledonian Railway Diagram books were introduced in 1898, one for “Modem Wagons” and a second for “Carriages, Vans & Trucks”. These are now generally referred to as the Large Diagram Books. A second, pocket sized version was also introduced and continuously updated throughout the Caledonian era.
