	Road, Rail and Water - transport in Offaly - Offaly History, Archaeology, Offaly Towns, Heritage, Research, King's ...
		In the seventeenth century road transport was still at a very rudimentary stage of development, ensuring that on its finalisation the canal was in a position to dominate travel to and from the county.
		As the railways offered a far speedier form of transport, their advent inevitably ensured the passing of the canal as the primary means of travel in the country and their initial arrival aroused a great deal of confrontation and bitterness between the canal companies and their new rivals.
		This was only barely sustainable in the hey-day of rail transport, but on the coming of independence it was clear that it was not a situation which could be allowed to persist indefinitely.

	Eureka County, Nevada -- Yucca Mountain Information Office -- Report on the Carlin Rail Route Option, 1993
		Potential transportation modes and routes, including regional highway and rail options that may be used to transport high-level wastes to the site of a potential Yucca Mountain repository, are being studied in Nevada by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
		Transportation activities in Nevada are focused on the development of rail access to the Yucca Mountain site, evaluations of potential transportation impacts in Nevada, coordination with other DOE transportation activities, and response to transportation issues raised in Nevada.
		For another, conditions along a historical rail route — in terms of land ownership, land use, and the natural environment — may be significantly different today than in the past.

	Stray Current Corrosion in Electrified Rail Systems:Transit Operator Interviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Most of the running rails are set on conventional wood sleepers with ballast, but some newer parts of the system use a concrete trackbed (tie in pocket), or a grout slab or wood tie over a high-resilience neoprene pad to damp vibration and insulate the track further from earth.
		While most of the running rails are secured by conventional spikes to wood ties on ballast or concrete, NYCTA has an ongoing program to use insulated clip-type fasteners to secure the rails to the ties, and to replace sections of rail with a welded rail.
		Corrosion of rail spikes is attributed to corruption of the ballast with soil and water wash, which lowers the rail-to-earth resistance, thereby allowing current from the return rails to discharge to the spike and then earth, corroding the spike.

	Transport innovations Rail transport
		Similar to passengers transport an increase of speed is an important driving force for new developments in rail freight transport.
		In contradiction to passenger transport however, technological developments are less focused towards increasing the maximum speed of trains, but rather towards improving the transit time in the total logistic chain.
		Since speed of terminal transport and handling are assumed to rise, this might have a negative influence on energy consumption.

		Various forms of rail—mainly light rail and regional rail over existing tracks—also appear to be feasible in several dozen more corridors in larger urban areas nationwide, plus a handful of special cases in smaller cities and rural areas.
		A high-speed surface transport system of any technology would not be built with 10 percent grades and curves sharp enough to require high superelevation, owing to passenger motion-sickness issues and safety issues for standing passengers.
		Light rail, the a la mode transit choice dominating the municipal scene today is essentially old technology being reapplied and is having a profound effect on the urban landscape nation-wide.

		Another electrically-powered transport system could also be found in Sheffield in the 1950s, in the form of the city’s original tram system and a film made in 1958 from Beauchief to the city centre is an interesting reminder of the period.
		A famous feature of the area’s rail system was the Cromford and High Peak Railway which, together with film of the route from Parsley Hay to Ashbourne, highlights the diversity of rail operation that existed until the closures of the 1960s.
		Fortunately, in 1962, a decision by the Scottish Region of British Railways to employ the A4s on the tightly-timed 3-hour expresses between Aberdeen, Perth and Glasgow gave many of the class a new lease of life.
