		rail rope by an endless hauling rope at an average speed of 4 to 6 m.
		Telpherage.—A telpher ropeway or cableway may be defined as a ropeway or cableway worked and controlled electrically, only a rail rope being required besides the live rail or wire from which the electric current is taken.
		Thus the telpher is a self-propelled electric carrier running on a mono-rail, which, according to the conditions, may be a steel rail or a steel cable.

		Not germane to the functional definition of a particular line of rails, and hence to questions of its classification as a railroad, are: the source of motive power, kind of material for rails and supporting ties (sleepers), varieties of things transported, or classification under law as a private or public carrier.
		One of the massive timber rails was grooved – U-shaped – and the opposite one tongued.
		Rails at first were of wood and then of granite, both topped by iron straps.

		The advent of steam-powered vessels after the War of 1812 had significantly shortened the travel time between destinations on navigable bodies of water and the city was advantageously situated at the mouth of the Chicago River on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan.
		Chicagoans correctly perceived transportation as both a cause and an effect of urban development and they strove to enhance their facilities.
		But an all-rail link between Chicago and New York City was not forged until 1858, when a unit of the Pennsylvania system, the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago, opened its Chicago extension.

	Stock car (rail) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Certain costly inefficiencies were inherent in the process of transporting live animals by rail, particularly due to the fact that some sixty percent of the animal's mass is composed of inedible matter.
		The fish were transported from hatcheries in the Midwest to locations along the Pacific coast to stock the rivers and lakes for sportfishing.
		Fish car use declined in the 1930s as fish transportation shifted to a speedier means of transport by air, and to trucks as vehicle technology advanced and road conditions improved.

		The distance between the rails is known as the gauge of the track.
		The rails are held to the ties by large spikes which also keep the track in gauge.

		This, along with the failure of the proposed Texas high-speed rail connecting the four major cities to obtain financing, meant that additional rail passenger service in Texas was unlikely.

	3rd and 4th rail dimensions and settings
		The flatbottom running rail (with rail-joints bonded to provide a return path for the traction current) is fixed to longitudinal baulks with screwclamps, the baulks themselves being secured to the rolled steel decking with pieces of angle and wooden wedges.
		As conductor rail wear takes place, the insulators are re-packed underneath, or packing is inserted between the underside of the rail and the cradle of the insulator, to maintain the conductor rail relationship with the running rails.
		The conductor rail is probably 106lb/yard section: the slight height difference between it and the cast ribbed ramps can be seen, being accommodated by the use of different types of insulator and packing thickness under the conductor rail itself.

		The burgeoning trade flows of the 21st Century must be facilitated in a way that is both: logistically rational, as determined by intense, 24-hour competition in a global "free" trade area; and ecologically sound, since passage through, and despoliation of, the trade-routes will no longer be perceived as "free".
		As such, the overall scheme would never be built: it could only evolve on the catalytic principle; that is, a global rail network would arise through the implementation of four inter-continental links, harnessing, where feasible, hydro-electric power.
		Then came the advent of road and airline transport, and the relative decline of the railways.
