	[No title]
		Until the 1980s, transport infrastructure (rights of way, track, terminals and associated traffic management) in developing countries was primarily provided by the public sector, for all modes of transportation (road, rail, air, maritime and inland water) and at all levels (international, national, regional and local, both urban and rural).
		In transport “service” provision (conveyance of passengers and freight), railways were usually a public sector monopoly, while in air and maritime transport national “flag carriers” were also usually in the public sector.
		Bank financing of transport vehicle fleets has been decreasing as the Bank has concentrated on assisting the transfer of enterprises from the public to the private sector (as in the case of buses in Barbados) and in reducing the constraints on private initiative (as in the case of the Mexican trucking industry).

	Transportation
		The primary regulatory approach used by DOT and NRC for ensuring safety during transportation of radioactive materials is by specifying standards for the proper packaging of such materials.
		Packaging for transporting radioactive materials must be designed, constructed, and maintained to ensure that they will contain and shield their contents during normal transportation.
		The amount of uranium that may be contained in an individual package and the total number of packages that may be transported together are determined by the nuclear properties of the enriched uranium.

	St. Louis Historic Context: Transprtation
		Transportation issues have both spurred and deterred growth, sometimes through people's own doing, other times not.
		Just as transportation is among the prevailing themes of American history, it is a key to understanding St. Louis's past and present-as well as its future.
		Wiggins Ferry Company, who owned a virtual monopoly in St. Louis, carried the rail cars across the river where they were again connected to locomotives for the rest of their journey.

	THE GREAT ROAD TRANSPORT SUBSIDY
		Compared with current rail fares which are typically 10p to 25p a mile, this would show the true cost of making many journeys much cheaper by rail than by car even when 2, 3 or sometimes 4 rail fares are paid.
		These subsidies are the reason why rail fares and freight charges are usually higher than by road, despite the technical superiority of rail which requires far less land than road to move passengers and freight and consumes less energy.
		It is ironic that rail operational land may have a higher value as a supermarket (heavily subsidised because the car trips it generates - see section 5.6) than as a working railway deprived of its deserving income as a result of the heavy car use subsidies which this paper describes.

	HVCEO - HISTORY OF RAIL LINES IN THE HOUSATONIC VALLEY, CT REGION
		In 1835 a rail charter was granted by the Connecticut Legislature to an enterprise known as the "Fairfield County Railroad." The charter was established only to build a railroad between Danbury and Long Island Sound.
		Raising the necessary construction funds, $230,000, proved difficult for the size of the population the rail line was to serve.
		In October of 1970, the Connecticut Department of Transportation (Conn DOT) and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of New York (MTA) entered into an agreement effective 1/1/1971 to oversee the operation of the New Haven Line by Penn Central and to jointly fund the operating deficit.

	Worldwide Light Rail BOOM
		This activity is a testimonial to the fact that transportation planners, decisionmakers, and operators - in scores of cities across the globe - see LRT as a viable, cost-effective, and essential component of their urban transportation systems.
		Light rail's development in Europe is particularly vigorous - and that's the focus of the following Fact Sheet, prepared by the British-based Light Rail Transit Association and its UK Development Group, and dated January 1999.
		European attitudes are that light rail is a superior transport mode to buses.

	Guardian Unlimited \| The Guardian \| Rail closures bring longest disruption since 1966
		Commuters are bracing themselves for a week of unprecedented disruption on the railways as 133 miles of the busiest inter-city track are shut for nine days on the west coast main line.
		Rail bosses say the closure is necessary for work on the troubled decade-long, £8bn upgrade of the line, due to be ready in September for a new timetable incorporating tilting trains running at 125mph.
		But rail chiefs are concerned at the prospect of severe overcrowding on secondary routes which could struggle to handle extra traffic.
