	United Nations Convention on International Multimodal Transport of Goods (Geneva, 24 May 1980)
		The multimodal transport operator shall be discharged from his obligation to deliver the goods if, where a negotiable multimodal transport document has been issued in a set of more than one original, he or a person acting on his behalf has in good faith delivered the goods against surrender of one of such originals.
		If the multimodal transport operator or a person acting on his behalf fails to note on the multimodal transport document the apparent condition of the goods, he is deemed to have noted on the multimodal transport document that the goods were in apparent good condition.
		The multimodal transport operator must, in addition, pay compensation for costs incurred by the claimant for the purpose of exercising his right, provided that costs incurred in the action where the foregoing provision is invoked are to be determined in accordance with the law of the State where proceedings are instituted.

	SEED PRODUCTION
		Indeed in certain parts of the world large level of transport of commercial fish in live condition from the areas of capture to the markets is a part of a highly organized industry, but we shall confine here to the transport of brood fish and fish seed, particularly the latter for culture purposes.
		Transport of fish seed in earthern pots, taken either as head loads or on slings from seed collection centres to spawn* markets and to nurseries for stocking is an ancient practice in certain parts of the world.
		Modern developments in transport technology are from two levels; one is from an understanding, as mentioned, of internal physiological mechanisms of the fish and the optimal requirements, ensuring maximum survival of fish under transport and the other is from a study of the environmental parameters of the medium in which fish are transported.

	Chapter 9 - Transport, storage and distribution of charcoal
		The cost of transporting charcoal in terms of heat energy units is much lower than transporting fuelwood, because the calorific value of the charcoal is about twice that of dry fuelwood.
		Rail freight for charcoal is calculated on the basis of 300 kg/m³ of charcoal.
		Since 1957 Belgo-Mineira has used an aerial cableway to move a certain proportion of the charcoal produced in one of the principal charcoal manufacturing centres in the Rio Doce region, which is east of their Monlevade iron and steel plant.

	APL: History - Evolution of Rail in America
		Soon after major ocean transportation carriers began the lengthy process of integrating containers into their operations in the 1950s, America’s railroads were loading these “boxes” onto flatcars to deliver goods more quickly and easily to the U.S. interior.
		In fact, the impact of published rail schedules was so great by the turn of the century that some cite the schedules as being the primary influence on the concept of punctuality in America.
		For example, containerized transportation providers used a chassis — a wheeled frame onto which the container is seated after being discharged from a vessel — so truckers could haul a container to and from a customer’s warehouse.

	Embassy of Sudan in South Africa - Tourism \| Transport
		To travel in side Sudan, and because of its hugeness, all means transport whether by land, river or by Air, are in use traveling by land is easier now a days because of the construction of thousands of km of highways.
		The reason for the construction of rail ways from Wadi-Halfa in the north to the interior of Sudan at the turn of the century was to facilitate the advance of the Anglo-Egyptian army, led by lord Kitchener and in establishing its supply lines.
		In addition to passengers transport, Sudan rail ways is substantially contributing in promoting income and out come trade via Port Sudan and the river berth of Wadi Halfa, where as the cost of freight transport by rail way in the minimum.

		It was formerly imported to Djibouti by rail, but since the end of the war it has been almost exclusively imported by air.
		Most of the khat transported by this route is consumed by the population of Djibouti.
		It is primarily the extension of air transport service to Djibouti which has enabled the majority of the 18,000 inhabitants of the city to become khat users.

	Cassens - Company History
		Then, due to the demands of the growing transport business, the space was converted into the transport company home office, and no more cars were sold out of that building.
		In 1957, Chrysler, who had purchased Dodge, was using 82 different automobile carriers and found dealing with that many haulers was cumbersome and inefficient.
		Cassens Transport got the business and was in place and ready to ship the first load of automobiles from the plant.

	Israel’s Transportation System
		In response, much greater priority was given to investment in transport during the 1990s, and the government is now seeking to upgrade the transportation sector across the board, to introduce greater competition and to encourage private enterprise.
		By the late 1980s, Israel's transportation network was in no position to accommodate the tidal wave of immigration from the former Soviet Union that would increase the population by 20 percent over the next decade.
		Long a neglected part of Israel's transportation system, the passenger railway network is now the subject of a major government initiative to upgrade and expand infrastructure and improve service.

	Transportation Fact Sheet
		Without rail access to Yucca Mountain or some form of intermodal transfer system, all waste would have to be shipped by truck along the nation's interstate highways and alternative routes that may be designated by states.
		One area of concern in nuclear waste transportation is the exposure of waste handlers, drivers, and the general public to radiation even during routine (non-accident) conditions.
		Based on this analysis, DOE concluded that accident rates for general truck and rail transportation should be used in repository transportation risk and impact studies.

	The Strasburg Rail Road Today - Strasburg Rail Road
		Strolling through the historic East Strasburg Station and the neighboring town of Strasburg, exploring the engines and rail cars up-close and riding beautifully restored trains are so much fun that you'll almost forget that you're immersed in a richly educational experience learning about steam railroading, agriculture, Amish culture and PA Dutch heritage.
		In 1957, destruction of the tracks caused by a series of storms placed an immediate embargo on the carload freight.
		Today, as we look back at their labor of love, the Strasburg Rail Road is one of Lancaster County's most popular tourist attractions - and recognized as one of America's most significant examples of early 20th century railroading.

	Transportation of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste to a Repository
		While it is true that, since 1962, there have been no radioactive releases as a result of transportation accidents, the amount of waste shipped to a repository in the first full year of operations alone will exceed the total amount shipped in the United States for the past 30 years.
		Such transport poses new problems, including interference with routine traffic on existing state and U.S. highways, possible weather related problems and risks for large heavy haul vehicles in the winter months, added risks associated with extra handling and long distance truck transport associated with intermodal shipments, increased susceptibility to terrorist attack, and other problems.
		New, larger transportation casks (100-125 tons) being considered for future spent fuel shipments have the potential, if not properly loaded, to allow the fuel assemblies to go critical under certain conditions - i.e., start a nuclear chain reaction that would cause a catastrophic temperature rise in the canister.

		The problem is then to transport their cargoes to the armed forces, to industry and to the civilian populations.
		This Board is obtaining information concerning the amount of inland surface transport which will be required to meet the military and civilian requirements in time of an emergency, and is comparing these requirements with the present availability of transport.
		The inland surface transport in each country in Europe has inevitably developed in different fashions, technically and administratively, and was not planned to cope with the demands which might be made should military operations start in Western Europe.

	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.

	Epping Ongar Railway - History
		Following nationalisation of the railways in 1948 individual assets of the main line rail companies and LT were transferred to the control of new executive bodies.
		The London Transport Executive (LTE) was the inheritor of the former LT assets and as the line from Leyton to Loughton was served by LT trains the track, stations and staff were transferred to them.
		Modification was made to the rail and signals in 1957 allowing two 4-car trains or one 8-car trains to run on the branch line, however, in practice the short platform length made the use of the 8-car train unworkable.

		(1999) published a complete review of productivity and efficiency estimates in rail transport in which it is clear that the results of these estimates are very sensitive to output specification.
		We will follow Farrell’s (1957) definition of the technical efficiency of a company: it is not possible to produce more output with less input.
