	Road, Rail and Water - transport in Offaly - Offaly History, Archaeology, Offaly Towns, Heritage, Research, King's ...
		In the seventeenth century road transport was still at a very rudimentary stage of development, ensuring that on its finalisation the canal was in a position to dominate travel to and from the county.
		As the railways offered a far speedier form of transport, their advent inevitably ensured the passing of the canal as the primary means of travel in the country and their initial arrival aroused a great deal of confrontation and bitterness between the canal companies and their new rivals.
		This was only barely sustainable in the hey-day of rail transport, but on the coming of independence it was clear that it was not a situation which could be allowed to persist indefinitely.

	Electric Traction
		It was on April 29, 1851, that a small road-car, built by Professor Page of the Smithsonian Institute, attained a speed of nineteen miles an hour near Washington - to the utter destruction of the batteries.
		All that is needed to cause the car to move along the running rails is to supply current through an overhead wire or third "conductor rail." This wire or rail will serve as a "return" for the electric current to the dynamo in the power station.
		This conductor rail was set one inch below the level of the running rails, and wooden ramps were provided at points and crossings to carry the collectors over the rails, thus avoiding a short-circuit.

	Railways and Population Change in Industrializing England, 1851-1914
		In this study, the variables of chief interest concern the attributes of census Registration Districts in England and Wales from 1851 to 1914: population density, the extent of rail-line coverage, and the rate of migration among groups defined by age and sex.
		From 1851 to 1871 the mean population density declined in rural districts with low access to rail transport, while it remained unchanged in districts with greater access to rail.
		In this exercise, use the data in the spreadsheet on migration from 1851 to 1861 for fifteen, randomly sampled census registration districts of England and Wales.

		In 1832 Heatons, the family that would later take on the famous Birmingham Mint, conducted a number of trial runs of a 'steam carriage' they had built, which consisted of a steam tractor to which was hitched a stage coach.
		These measures effectively suppressed smoke and puffing noises, so that only the sound of the wheels on the rails could be heard, and the only criticism was that in cold weather steam could be seen escaping from the funnel.
