	America on the Move \| A Railroad for Santa Cruz
		The Santa Cruz Railroad opened for business in 1876, and its locomotives “Neptune” and “Jupiter” pulled trains of passengers and freight the 13 miles between Santa Cruz and Watsonville — where there was a junction with the Southern Pacific Railroad and connections to all the rest of the nationwide rail network.
		And between 1876 and 1900, Watsonville became part of an agricultural revolution that eventually spread throughout California’s coastal regions and vast central valley.
		The key for both towns was the rail network, which not only brought more industry and tourists to Santa Cruz, but allowed the agricultural produce of the surrounding area to reach new markets.

	Transport
		In the earliest days of quarrying at Rhosydd the route used to transport the slate to market was via a well constructed path from the West Twll around the east shoulder of Moelwyn Mawr and over the high pass between Moelwyn Mawr and Moelwyn Bach.
		The tramway was built to serve Croesor quarry which was a mile to the west of Rhosydd and the addition of a branch to serve Rhosydd was a logical development.
		It is not advisable to attempt to climb or descend the incline nowadays as the slope is dangerously eroded, instead use the quarrymens track from the head of the valley.

	NARA - Prologue - The Fast Mail
		In part as a response to criticism from businesses and the public that the mails, then moving by horse and stagecoach, were too slow, the postmaster general in the early 1830s decided to put the mails on trains.
		Records about the work performed by clerks on railroads in the early days are meager, but it is thought that there was a gradual development in the scope of the work up to 1864, when all mail in transit began to be distributed in railroad cars.
		The act had a twofold effect: it increased the use of railroads to transmit the mails and limited the use of post riders and horse-drawn vehicles to post offices that were not on railway routes.

		The clapper rails recorded in San Francisco Bay in the mid-1800's on the early Pacific Railroad Surveys were first considered a variety of king rail, R. elegans var obsoletus (62), and later designated a distinct species, R. obsoletus (63).
		Varoujean (75) attributed the absence of clapper rails at Moro Cojo Slough to the absence of "undercut mudbanks".
		The variability in seasonal vocal activity of rails, tidal regimes, rainfall, site-to-site predation, census methods, and observer effect probably form a mosaic of influences affecting the detectability of population size.

		Until modern times, transport by water continued to be the principal roadway of progress in the material conditions of human life.
		Under the right conditions, long-range transportation corridors, which are based on a central role of modern rail or magnetic-levitation transport, are, in net effect, cheaper and faster routes of transport than the seas.
		As in the case of the original U.S. transcontinental rail systems, these routes were not merely roads of transport; the transportation system transformed a virtual economic wasteland into a rich region of powerful economic development.

		In 1991, FIDO commissioned a light rail study, undertaken by Gutteridge Haskins and Davey Pty Ltd, to identify costs associated with the provision and operation of a light rail system from Woongoolba Creek to Central Station and the McKenzie Line east to the Wabby Plots.
		Another potential use of the rail network is to carry freight from the western to the eastern side of the island, thus minimising cross island freight traffic.
		As such, an alternative transportation option is required that achieve the objective of distributing passengers without impacting on the environmental values and management economics of the Island.

	Twelfth Regiment of Infantry
		The two most remote stations were nearly 700 miles apart, as the crow flies, and owing to the meagre facilities for transportation it took at least six weeks to go from one to the other.
		Headquarters was a receiving station for recruits, who were held there until transportation could be furnished to their posts, and for months at a time the garrison consisted only of the band, a few men on detached service from their companies and the aforesaid recruits.
		Thus commenced another tour of duty with the noble red man. It had an element of diversion, however, in the fact that the Dakotas were the superiors of any Indians with which the regiment had ever been thrown, and having made a start towards civilization their development could be watched with interest.

		In modern history of the past two centuries, the center of these geographical principles is transportation routes, chiefly for water-borne commerce and trunk railways, still the cheapest and most efficient modes for movement of produced goods.
		Do not think of this as merely passage-ways for transportation; think of them as development corridors, just as the U.S.A.'s Lincoln reform of 1861-1876 defined the relationship between transcontinental railways, and economic development of the land-areas through which the railways passed.
		Although the speeds achievable do relieve the presently excessive reliance on passenger air transport for medium-distance travel, the revolutionary impact of magnetic levitation shows itself in the transport and classification of freight shipments.
