	Ulster Folk & Transport Museum : About Us : Museums and Galleries of Northern Ireland
		About Us Established by an Act of Parliament in 1958, the Ulster Folk Museum was set up to illustrate the way of life and the traditions of the people of the north of Ireland.
		This was primarily in response to the speed at which the countryside and people's way of life was changing and the need to preserve and record a heritage in danger of disappearing.
		With the opening in 1993 and 1996 of the award winning Rail and Road Galleries the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum became firmly established as a Museum of international importance.

		Modern commercial transport includes all the means and facilities used in the movement of people or property, and all services involved in the receipt, delivery, and handling of such property.
		The early refinement of water transport was stimulated by the tendency of populations to centre on sea coasts or navigable waterways.
		Routed through rail, roads, ships, or aeroplanes, a freight container is locked and sealed at origin, and the contents are not disturbed until the seal is broken by the consignee when the freight is unloaded at its destination; only one bill of lading or air waybill is issued.

	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.
		At the end of the war, fledgling commercial air carriers took advantage of the ruined ground transportation system and the large surplus of aircraft and pilots.
		The air transport industry has grown enormously in the second half of the 20th century.

	SCADPlus: Transport: introduction
		The ultimate objective is to shift the balance between the various modes of transport by 2010 through an active policy to revitalise the railways, promote transport by sea and inland waterway and develop intermodality.
		Since 1 January 1993, inland waterway transport has also benefited from the liberalisation of cabotage, the main effect of which has been the end of the rota system which prevented companies employing these services from having a free choice of carrier.
		Of all modes of transport, air transport is by far the one that has grown the most in the EU over the last twenty years.

	Rail travel rises to highest level since 1958 \| \| Guardian Unlimited Business
		Rail travel will reach its highest level for almost 50 years in 2005 with travellers clocking up some 1.07bn journeys, according to the Association of Train Operating Companies.
		The total is an increase of 30m on 2004 and has been exceeded only twice in the industry's record books: in 1957 and 1958, during the pre-Beeching era when the rail network was 40% bigger than it is today.
		ATOC said it was pleased with the pilot schemes for the Community Rail Strategy, which is designed to improve the use of rural and local lines.

		When a shipper contracts the broker describing the goods to be transported and the destination, the broker informs the shipper of the `going rate' being asked and received by truckers.
		On a prepaid shipment, the broker collects the amount of the transportation charge and the excise tax from the shipper, deducts his commission, and, after receiving a receipt from the trucker showing delivery and acceptance of the shipment by the consignee, pays the trucker the amount agreed upon.
		However, where the transportation charge is paid to the truck broker, he is required to collect the transportation tax from the person making the payment and to forward such tax to the trucker.

	Of Atkinson and articulated tractors
		During the period covered by their fairly short working lives, the British builders who supplied many of the first generation artics and at one time had almost a monopoly of the Irish market, were taken over or went out of business.
		It was therefore doubly fortunate that the Transport Museum was able to preserve, especially with the co-operation of CIE and Irish Rail, a selection of first generation models when they came to the end of the road.
		The Transport Museum made several attempts to acquire one, but were usually defeated by either the breaker or an owner whose tractor suddenly became gold plated when the Museum enquired about it.

	Opportunities to Improve Passenger Rail Service (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In July 2001, the GAO estimated the cost of improving the Northeast Corridor and the ten proposed high speed rail corridors at between $50 to $70 billion, and in September 2001 the Chairman of the Amtrak Reform Council estimated the cost at $100 billion.
		Given the comparatively high costs incurred by others to serve rail markets with a land mass that are just a tiny fraction of the U.S., the $50 billion to $100 billion cost estimates that many have identified may be much too low in relation to the size of the prospective U.S. network.
		And while those arguing in favor of publicly-funded high speed rail often point to road and airport congestion as the compelling rationale for subsidizing a fourth mode of intercity transport, it would seem that the more cost effective and consumer preferred response to such congestion-related problems is to build more road and airport capacity.

	U.S. Transportation Subsidies
		Between 1942 and 1962 a 10% rail ticket tax was levied on railroads as a war measure to discourage unnecessary travel.
		Federal support for transit and intercity rail is relatively recent: 1964 for transit and 1971 for intercity rail.
		Between 1958 and 1971, the year of Amtrak's creation, the federal government spent more than $50 billion on highways and at the same time, the government subsidy to intercity bus operators grew to $50 million annually.

	Transport Watch UK - Community Rail
		Because of their limited carrying capacity as railways, and because of the diminishing demand for bulk transport by land, they are being wasted, very expensively: they carry relatively little traffic at disproportionately high cost.
		In the study that advocated it, instead of going for conversion of rail into busway, Alan M Voorhees, the American consultants, assumed that the 11ft rail track would have to be converted into a 12ft bus lane, with 3ft verges.
		The evidence for this is the persistent decline in rail traffic in the past six years, despite £1,000 million of subsidies.

	A Lehigh and Hudson River Railway Scrapbook
		The farm products of this prosperous agricultural and dairying region had for many years, prior to transportation by rail, been hauled thirty miles overland in wagons to Newburgh on the Hudson where the shipments were loaded on boats and conveyed to New York City.
		The weight of rail has constantly increased, until now a large portion of the main track is laid with 131 lb.
		Consequently, in 1958, a complete radio installation was made and at such time, The Lehigh and Hudson River Railway Company became the first railroad in the Northeast to be completely radio-equipped.

	BRS Canadian National 1958 Pontiac Station Wagon Hy-Rail
		With their standard and flanged wheels (which could be raised or lowered), these "hy-rail" vehicles provide flexibility for the railways that could use them on public roads or the company's tracks.
		You can occasionally see a modern version, either a pickup truck or sport utility vehicle (SUV) with flanged wheels, travelling along the highways and country roads to a railway crossing where it will be positioned onto the tracks and driven to the intended destination to pick up or drop off workers and equipment.
		The Society's 1958 Pontiac Station Wagon is an early example of a Canadian National Railway hy-rail car.
