	Air Transport Industry - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
		In 1910 the air transport industry was established in Germany when regular air service with gas-filled airships called dirigibles began to provide service between cities.
		In the United States, government regulation began in 1926, when the Commerce Department set the first standards for pilots and aircraft and began establishing air routes and navigation systems and investigating accidents.
		The air transport industry has grown enormously in the second half of the 20th century.

		Shipping by air over long distances is also much faster than long-distance shipping by other modes of transportation, and thus the only choice for shipments such as express mail, live seafood, and cut flowers.
		A year later, the Air Commerce Act of 1926 instituted licensing requirements for pilots and aircraft in the United States.
		Airline deregulation was intended to foster competition in the air transport market and bring better service and lower prices to air travelers and shippers.

		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 Golden Pass: Parleys Canyon, Utah
		The transportation story of Parleys Canyon is one of development by phases, in which one mode of transportation improves on, or replaces, another.
		The rails were taken up between Park City and the cement rock quarry located in the lower section of Parleys Canyon, from which there was enough traffic to justify keeping the tracks in place.
		As gasoline-powered automobiles began to replace horse-drawn wagon as a preferred means of road transportation, the drivers of the new autos discovered that roads in better condition were needed because of the increased over-the-road speed of the autos.

		Rails seemed to be the answer, but where to run them was perplexing.
		A central riding beam 6x8 inches in size supported by series of A-frames spaced eight feet apart consisted of the monorail "grade." It was capped with a running rail of standard 50 to 80 pound rail affixed to the beam.
		To the legs of the A-frames, crossboards were affixed to enable 2"x8" side rails to be attached to serve as sway stabilizers.

		Most of the trails followed major rivers, and the Yukon became a highway for almost its entire length as soon as the ice was thick enough to chase the summer steamboats to their winter moorings and provide solid footing for the dog teams.
		Transportation was strictly controlled and gold miners were near the bottom of the priority list.

	[No title]
		Comparative study on industrial relations in the rail transport sector Belgium General background information on the sector’s structure: The Belgian National Railways (Nationale Maatschappij der Belgische Spoorwegen/Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Belges, NMBS/SNCB) were created in 1926 to exploit rail transport on the Belgian network.
		If rail transport were to be liberalised, both workers and management fear that the most lucrative business will be taken over by the private sector, leaving NMBS/SNCB with the least profitable activities it has to provide as a public service.
		Some trade unions thus demand a modification of the 1926 statute in the direction of a workers’ representation scheme similar to that of the private sector, including holding social elections in the company.

	Northern New Jersey: Light Rail's Spectacular Comeback
		Electric trolleys provided fast, convenient connections with a wide array of other public transport modes – rapid transit and regional "commuter" railways, as well as motor buses and trolleybuses – all of which was highly attractive to the public and made public transport a significant means of mobility, even after the advent of the automobile.
		The background of rail transit in Newark is a story of appalling destruction and decline followed by resurgence and renewal in recent years.
		This meant that readily identifiable, reliable electric rail services, many with portions of their routes in exclusive rights-of-way, were replaced with less spacious, often fume-producing buses, operating in less recognizable routes and competing with other street traffic.

	Austria's Rail Transport
		At the beginning of the nineteenth century increasing trade called for improved transport, and this led to the construction of Austria's first railway.
		Gerstner advocated a horse railway from Linz to Joachimsmuhle, but left the project in the hands of his son, who in September, 1824, was granted by the Emperor Franz I the exclusive right of building a wood and iron road between Mauthausen, on the Danube, and Budweis (now called Ceske-Budejovice).
		A beginning with the work of electrification was made with the railways of Tirol which, by reason of the steep gradients and long tunnels in the Arlberg section, were particularly suitable for electric working.

	Rail transport in Victoria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rail transport in Victoria, Australia, is run by a combination of government run railway lines and private concerns.
		In 1883 the first connection with another State's rail system was made when a line was completed to the New South Wales Government Railways's station at Albury, requiring a break-of-gauge to New South Wales's standard gauge (1435mm).
		This line became part of the Melbourne suburban electrified network during the 20th century and most of it was converted to standard gauge light rail in the 1987 as Melbourne tram route 109.

		The pioneer tram line between the Marble Arch and Notting Hill Gate, which was opened in 1861 with so much pomp and ceremony and feasting, was taken up very soon afterwards, partly because the projecting rail flanges were found to be a source of inconvenience to other road users.
		In this connection, it may be recalled that in the days of steam operation, the Inner Circle service were worked jointly by the Metropolitan and District, each company running an agreed proportion of trains on the route.
		This arrangement continued for some considerable period after electrification, but in 1926 the District trains were withdrawn except on Sundays.

		The final boundary of land under the plough and the extent of the rail system is largely south of the 254 mm isohyet.
		From 1906, cheaply constructed rail lines were pushed throughout the Murray Lands and from 1907 on Eyre Peninsula, purely to encourage agricultural settlement.
		This was perhaps inevitable once the Government repealed in 1963 the Road and Railways Transport Act of 1930, thus exposing the railways to intense competition from road transport.
