	Stray Current Corrosion in Electrified Rail Systems:Transit Operator Interviews
		Most of the running rails are set on conventional wood sleepers with ballast, but some newer parts of the system use a concrete trackbed (tie in pocket), or a grout slab or wood tie over a high-resilience neoprene pad to damp vibration and insulate the track further from earth.
		While most of the running rails are secured by conventional spikes to wood ties on ballast or concrete, NYCTA has an ongoing program to use insulated clip-type fasteners to secure the rails to the ties, and to replace sections of rail with a welded rail.
		Corrosion of rail spikes is attributed to corruption of the ballast with soil and water wash, which lowers the rail-to-earth resistance, thereby allowing current from the return rails to discharge to the spike and then earth, corroding the spike.

	Transport innovations Rail transport
		Similar to passengers transport an increase of speed is an important driving force for new developments in rail freight transport.
		In contradiction to passenger transport however, technological developments are less focused towards increasing the maximum speed of trains, but rather towards improving the transit time in the total logistic chain.
		Since speed of terminal transport and handling are assumed to rise, this might have a negative influence on energy consumption.

	Forums at the Society - The Switch To Motor Transport
		Though it is hard to qualify what is "significant" in history (since so many things seemingly unimportant at the time prove to have been vastly underated and visa versa) I expect that it is fair to say that the truck was far and away a much earlier "significant" contribution.
		In addition, however, I think a sometimes missed aspect of this story is that motor transport had the initial effect of increasing cavalry efficiency, and was not a threat to cavalry.
		Keeping in mind that the writer might have been including artillery horses and those used for transport in his "cavalry" definition (remember, it was a motor magazine) there may have been real pressure to come with alternatives if the military felt its future supplies (or more important, potential war-time supplies) were gradually vanishing.

	Customs and Excise Amendment (Diesel Fuel Rebate Scheme) Bill 1999(Bills Digest 20 1999-2000)
