	Unasylva - No. 90 - New SCA transport system for wood and wood products (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Transport costs may be expected to rise very rapidly in certain cases if conventional methods of transport and shipping are adhered to and progress in this field is ignored.
		A survey dealing with the transport conditions of wood to the various industries showed that this combination of land and water transport was a complicated and costly method.
		Transport to the central terminal occurs 6 days a week but from the terminal to the industries there is a continuous flow every day.

	Do Bato: Air Transport
		Transport of men, mail and materials through a vehicle in the air from one place to another is referred to as Air transport.
		The air transport aids the land transport in the economic development of areas where other means of transport is practically absent.
		Economic gains are achieved by the use of air transport, as a stimulant to trade, tourism and industry and the location of one or more international airport terminals in the vicinity of a capital city is a factor critical to national growth.

	Dáil Éireann - Volume 118 - 03 November, 1949 - Transport Bill, 1949—Second Stage (Resumed).
		I believe that the railway system cannot be preserved and that this transport company cannot be successful unless a real effort is made to dovetail rail and road transport and to make road transport a tributary, as it were, to rail transport, because I think rail transport should be the backbone of our transport system.
		If the discussion of public transport policy is to be on a political basis, and on a political basis only, and if public transport policy is to be fashioned in that way, the future of this country will be most uncertain.
		But the transport of agricultural produce and the raw material needed by farmers should be as flexible as possible and any restriction on the type of transport that farmers may need [462] will be seriously damaging to the structure of agriculture and the output of agriculture in future.

		He favored the stone and rail construction consisting of an iron rail resting upon a continuous line of granite blocks of suitable size and length supported by a rubble wall and secured from lateral motion by embedding them in stone and gravel.
		Trains #6 and #3 were discontinued in 1949, and a new star route was instituted to convey mail between Ogdensburg and Norwood.The Rutland Railroad became a thing of the past November 1, 1950, when the Rutland Railway was born.

	USAREUR Units - 37th Trans Gp
		For this reason it was not feasible to assign sufficient units to the 37th Transportation Highway Transport Division to permit daily operation in keeping with the mission for which a transport division is basically organized.
		Because of this, the 37th was assigned an occupation mission of running the USAREUR Transportation Training Center (at Lager Hammelburg), with a secondary mission of training for operation as a Transport Division in the event of an emergency.
		The Transportation Training Center was organized in January of 1948 for the purpose of effecting the rehabilitation of Transportation Truck Companies to include maintenance and driver training, the rehabilitation of personnel and equipment, and the correction of related administrative records.

	Policy Study No. 235 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Transportation is not sentimental, and Americans rarely treat it as such when traveling by air, bus or automobile.
		The heart of VIA Rail is the Quebec City-Toronto-Windsor corridor, accounting for approximately 85 percent of ridership and 70 percent of income.
		However, this kind of rail experience where scenery, service and history are the attractions—more of an enjoyable excursion rather than a means of transportation—can still be marketed successfully." By 1993 the company built traffic to nearly three times that of 1990.

	Richard Leonard's Steam Locomotive Archive - Non-Steam Rarities
		Although my primary rail attraction has always been the steam locomotive, by the mid-1950s this species had become so scarce that I was usually reduced to photographing diesels and other items of interest on or along the right-of-way.
		By the time I was archiving assorted railroad operations in the 1950s, the mode of transportation for this purpose had shifted to internal combustion.
		Until 1949 it was not clear that North American railroads would totally desert the steam locomotive.

	British Railways (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		This flag is still in use as the “double-arrow” symbol now belongs to the DETR (Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions) and is authorised for use by the railway companies and other purposes connected to the national railway network.
		As far as I am aware, the British Rail flag was the only instance where it was acceptable to mirror the BR symbol although, from time to time, on roadsigns etc., one sees instances of the BR symbol crudely being reversed where it should not be!
		According to Barraclough and Crampton Flags of the World 1981 [bcr81] p.230, this flag was adopted in 1949 and replaced by the blue with white "double-arrow" flag in 1965 when British Railways adopted a new corporate identity becoming British Rail.

	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.

		Transportation engineer Edson L. Tennyson, PE (a technical consultant to the Light Rail Now Project) has analyzed this issue extensively, and contends that the "cost savings" of high-quality, equivalently routed "BRT" – compared with LRT – are largely imaginary.
		Furthermore, electric light rail transit (LRT) railcars – including streetcars (trams) – are capable of negotiating much steeper grades than is commonly assumed and included in system designs.
		A 5% gradient (1:20) approaches the steepest it is advisable to plan for without special provisions on the platform (such as railings for the mobility-impaired).

		During 1949 and early 1950 steam engines were being replaced by diesels and were completely replaced by October of 1950.
		A railroad manpower reduction that started in the early 1950s resulted in numerous layoffs and transfers which caused many families to leave Cotter and numerous other small Ozark towns to seek employment elsewhere.
		The replacement of steam engines by diesels resulted in the closing of two roundhouses, machine shops, several stations and depots and eliminated the transporting of coal to local stations.
