	Rail Blue - The Definitive BR First Generation Traction Website
		Rail Blue once, but a look at how the preservationists have expertly restored the first generation preserved traction to their original 1960's liveries.
		This website, as its name implies, mainly concentrates on those rail blue days, an era that spanned some fifteen years before it was gradually phased out with the onset of sectorisation and then finally, privitisation of Britains railways.
		Rail Blue is a private venture and receives no financial contributions or monies for its services whatsoever.

		Rail transport is the most energy efficient means of mechanised land transport.
		Rail transport is also one of the safest modes of transport, and also makes highly efficient use of space: a double-tracked rail line can carry more passengers or freight in a given amount of time than a four-laned road.
		Rail lines that carry little traffic are often built with a single track used by trains in both directions; on rail lines like these, "crossovers", "passing loops" or "passing sidings", which consist of short stretches of double track, are provided along the line to allow trains to pass each other, and travel in opposite directions.

		Transportation is a fairly easy topic to check, since most of the titles will be found in the 380s (transportation) and 620s (engineering).
		Some older titles may discuss personal safety in terms of transportation in a light much different from today's world where such hazards as congestion and road rage are much more dangerous from those encountered twenty years ago.
		Your collection should also include some titles that explore future transportation methods such as bullet trains or light-rail that may be realities now only in a few cosmopolitan areas but are projected to impact all our lives in the future.

	British Rail - Definition, explanation
		The rail transport system in Great Britain developed during the 19th century.
		However the modernisation plan failed to take into account the effect that mass road transport would have upon the traditional role of the railways, and as a result much money was wasted by heavy investment in things like marshalling yards, at a time when small wagon-load traffic was in rapid decline.
		BR was also hampered by out-of-date regulations that regulated charges for freight, and also forced the railways to transport unprofitable freight.
