		Although the system is referred to as a "light rail transit system", some would argue the system is more akin to a rapid transit (metro) system.
		In 1905, Manila's first tranvia, or tram, opened in Manila and soon grew to five lines servicing many parts of the city of Manila and its outskirts.
		LRT-1 runs light rail vehicles made either in South Korea by Adtranz or in Belgium by ACEC (both companies are now part of Bombardier).

		There was no indication that the east crossover switch point rail had been forced open by any wheel flanges, and the connecting rod from the switch points to the switch stand was not bent in the manner typical of a switch being run through.
		Marks on the top of the rail consistent with a wheel flange and extensive damage to the track ties and roadbed indicate that the locomotive derailed approximately 48 feet (15 m) east of the east crossover switch.
		The rail was laid on hardwood ties placed at 60 ties per 100 feet (30 m) on crushed rock ballast and secured with four standard track spikes and four standard rail anchors per tie.

	GH&D Light Rail Report
		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.

	3rd and 4th rail dimensions and settings
		Standard rail relationships 4mm scale recommended dimensions for the basic interrelationship between prototype-gauged running rails and the 3rd and 4th rails for LT and Southern/SR prototypes are shown in the adjacent drawing.
		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.

		While the Mohawk River was also a transportation conduit, it was not until the Erie Canal was constructed under Governor DeWitt Clinton in the 1820's that transportation to and from the west of the Capital District progressed substantially.
		To overcome these obstacles and to facilitate water transportation, canals were built paralleling the rivers and using them as a source of their water supply, eg.
		On the open or private right of way there was exposed third rail running along the track on the outside of one of the running rails and elevated a little in distance from the ground so the third rail shoes of the electric cars and locomotives could slide along it.

	An evaluation of alternative transport pricing rules: Argentine Railways ca. 1905
		The data for the analysis are primarily the Argentine freight classifications, the distribution of traffic by tariff class and by commodity as published by the Argentine counterpart of the ICC, their analysis of freight rate mileage schedules and annual reports by the companies that operated in the country at the time.
		The analysis is couched in terms of pricing the transport of a single commodity although a tariff system must be adequate for the transport of a multitude of commodities and passengers, and for the provision of other services.
		Given the speed of transport by rail, this cost is proportional to distance and equal to wx.
