	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.

	Current Status and Future Prospects of Amtrak and High Speed Rail (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Amtrak was established by the Rail Passenger Service Act of 1970, under which the nation’s private-sector railroads were permitted to drop rail passenger service.
		The common stock was issued in 1971 and shortly thereafter to private sector railroads that contributed start-up equipment and rolling stock to Amtrak.
		Prior to the 1997 reform law, Amtrak was required to serve a statutorily mandated “basic system” of routes established in 1971, with alterations permitted only by a quasi-abandonment process or for financial emergency.

	rediff.com: Emotions run high as Indo-Bangla rail link is commissioned
		While the Eastern Railway higher-ups said the newly established rail link would shorten the distance between the two points by at least 35 km compared to the existing Gede-Darshana route, many felt the resumption of the rail link would help curb the flourishing illegal trade through the porous Indo-Bangladesh border.
		Though it was reopened after India helped the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971, the rail route remained non-functional since the volume of traffic dwindled to non-viable proportions.
		Adding that an estimated Rs 55 million has been spent on the rail network between Petrapole and Benapole, Mamata said she had repaid an old loan she owed to the Bengali people on both sides of the border.

		One reason is that definitions of what a metro is may vary according to who you ask (a popular definition is here).
		Differences between heavy rail, metros and trams began fading in the past few decades as more metros now include stretches shared with roads or heavy rail.
		In other cases, metros have gradually evolved from tram or rail lines, so it is often difficult to tell the actual length or date of inauguration of a metro.
