		High-speed rail is a type of passenger rail transport that operates significantly faster than the normal speed of rail traffic.
		Railways were the first form of mass transportation, and until the development of the motorcar in the early 20th century had an effective monopoly on land transport.
		Rail networks, like highways, require large fixed capital investments and thus require a blend of high density and government investment to be competitive against existing capital infrastructure for aircraft and automobiles.

	Imperial College London - Privatisation has not made rail safety worse, says professor
		Reports and images of fatal rail accidents at Southall, Ladbroke Grove, Hatfield and Potters Bar all figure prominently in the public perception of rail safety but the evidence does not support the widely held view that safety has worsened in the 10 years since the break-up of British Rail.
		"Rail accidents get enormous media coverage and there is great public outcry over them," he says, contrasting coverage of rail accidents with that of a recent road accident near Brighton (eight fatalities in May).
		He has previously been funded by London Transport, and on specific projects by the HSE and by the Rail Safety and Standards Board, the industry safety body bringing together all train operators, Network Rail and the Strategic Rail Authority.

	Freight Rail Investment Would Reduce Traffic And Air Pollution - Environmental Defense
		Today, there is virtually no way for rail freight to cross the Hudson River further south than a bridge near Albany, which is costly, and as a result, over 95% of all goods destined for New York City come in by truck via the George Washington Bridge.
		The East of Hudson Rail Freight Operations Task Force, created in 1999 by the Norfolk Southern and CSX Transportation companies and 24 members of the United States Congress, is co-chaired by Congressmen Jerrold Nadler and Christopher Shays.
		It is committed to the restoration of price- and service-competitive freight rail operations in the areas of the New York metropolitan region east of the Hudson River by bringing together elected officials, carriers and public agencies at regularly scheduled meetings.

	Sir Peter Parker - Telegraph
		He sought to apply his ideals to the running of British Rail, but in some respects found it a disenchanting experience; for he had to confront the three railway unions, and their deeply entrenched traditions, with the realities of 20th century economics and technology.
		But his tenure was also marked by what he saw as a lack of investment on the part of both Labour and Conservative governments; because of this, he saw his job as a constant battle to shore up what he called "the crumbling edge of quality".
		In 1967 Parker was asked by the Transport Minister, Barbara Castle, to be chairman of British Rail.

	Argentine Rail Transport Problems, The Waggon Bottleneck.
		From the foregoing it will be appreciated that the economic and efficient use of railway transport equipment is of primary importance for the country's economy as a whole if its produce is to reach world markets at competitive prices, and the domestic standard of living be maintained.
		On the particular subject of rail transport, while steps are now being taken to improve the locomotive position, particularly as regards "dieselisation"--dealt with in a previous article*--the real bottleneck of the railway goods situation in Argentina is the current shortage of waggons.
		The answer is simple: an enormous increase of transport cost by using all and every kind of uneconomical transportation vehicle, a substantial and uneconomical extension of the transportation period, incalculable losses due to deterioration of produce whilst waiting for waggons, etc. Naturally, all this does not show up directly as the fault of the railways.

	Centennial Report: Chapter 3: Taking Control - The Canadian Transport Commission, 1967 to 1987
		The Canadian Transport Commission's mandate was to deal with all modes of transportation as a competitive whole "with the object of co-ordinating and harmonizing the operations of all carriers engaged in transport by railways, water, aircraft, extra-provincial motor vehicle transport and commodity pipelines."
		The Transport Minister continued, "It is the federal government's view that the changing environment of regulatory administration, coupled with the determination to reduce government interference in the marketplace, requires the establishment of a new regulatory agency as a successor to the Canadian Transport Commission."
		Among changes to the original Act of 1967, there were provisions for confidential contracts for rail shippers; increased intramodal competition; reduced regulation governing the commercial airline sector; rate arbitration for shippers and carriers; and protection of the unique nature of the North's air and marine transportation.

	British Transport Historical Records - Staff - Your Archives
		The Records of the various private companies and other bodies employed in the transport industry were taken over by the British Transport Commission in 1948 under The Transport Act 1947; these and records transferred subsequently by the various nationalised transport undertakings constitute the British Transport Collection now held by The National Archives.
		Each group is divided into series; in the case of RAIL records these number over 1100, most of them being the records of the individual railway, dock, harbour or canal companies.
		It is not possible in a short note even to summarise the contents of the records; the classification adopted by the British Transport Historical Records before their transfer to the National Archives does however give a fair idea what may be found in the records of any particular company.

	Passenger rail in the 20th Century - Railway Age, December 1999
		Amtrak and VIA Rail were born out of a belief that a nationwide system of intercity rail passenger service was in the national interest, and both have come far in restoring the quality and reliability of these services.
		By May 1967 a test train had achieved a maximum speed of 156 mph, and later in the year a train of the railroad's new Metroliner EMU cars hit 164 mph in early testing on a section of the Northeast Corridor in New Jersey.
		With this substantial growth of rail systems in the past several decades, urban and regional/commuter rail have represented the fastest growing segment of public transit for close to two decades.

		Rail transport is seen as less efficient and is therefore disfavored, despite its potential advantages.
		The mass of containers transported by road also suggests that one of the advantages of a smaller number of load breakages favors this means of transport as compared to rail transportation, despite that fact that the railways should theoretically be more competitive.
		Among the various deficiencies of rail traffic described so far, greater emphasis must be placed on the really fundamental problem: the greatest obstacle to an increase in rail traffic consists in the nation-by-nation management of the railways, in the sense that the railways remain the property of each individual state.

		This despite most of the rail service having been phased out and the remaining section deliberately allowed to run down, several new bus routes had been introduced and increases in bus fares had been implemented from July 31 of that year.
		Almost immediately Government recognised, tacitly, that it had erred in closing down the rail service, because the bus service, which would be hit later by the work stoppage of April, 1969, from which it is only now recovering 38 years later, was unable to handle the increased demand for bus seats.
		But whatever it chose to call the private commercial passenger transport units it was the clearest admission, up to then, of its monumental error of judgment in the closure of the rail service.
