	Rail Transportation; An Historical Military Study, Quartermaster Review 1927
		A "Special Committee on Co-operation with the Military Authorities was appointed by the American Railway Association, and during the winter of 1915-16 this committee was in frequent session with the officers of the Transportation Division of the Quartermaster General's Office, and a general plan of co-operation was agreed upon.
		The American Railway Association is an organization financially supported by the railroads of the United States and other countries, and which have given the Association plenary power to move and assign its rolling stock in an emergency where needed in the public interest.
		In addition, competent representatives from the American Railway Association (or railway officials) were assigned to each departmental headquarters, cantonment, port of embarkation, and any special place where considerable numbers of men were to be moved by rail.

	Mackenzie Northern Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is the northernmost trackage of the contiguous North American railway network.
		The majority of the tracks which the Mackenzie Northern Railway uses were built by the federal government as the Great Slave Railway, running from a point on the Northern Alberta Railways at Grimshaw, AB to the southern shores of Great Slave Lake at Hay River, NWT starting in 1961 and opening in 1964.
		The Great Slave Railway's operation was entrusted to CN in 1966, which had been operating the line on behalf of the federal government since it opened.

		The Rail Detector Car was developed as a jointly-financed project by the American Railway Association (ARA) and the Sperry Co. beginning in 1926.
		The ARA contracted with Sperry to manufacture a rail detector car, initializing a method by which the magnetic detection equipment (invented by Elmer A. Sperry in 1923) contacted the rail.
		A detailed chronology of Sperry Rail Service (SRS) actions in collaboration with the American Railway Association (ARA) in the early development of the period (1926-1940) lists correspondence, memoranda and reports on the design and manufacture of the first Sperry rail detector cars, delivered to ARA in 1928.

		At the beginning the railways connections were isolated and their timing was based on the main city from which the connection started.
		As the railways system was becoming more complex, there were as many railway times as there were main cities and in the intermediate stations there was the passage from one railway time to another.
		Dowd presented his project first to a convention of railway superintendents then in a booklet, which contained a description of scientific principles on which the proposal was based and an example of time table for all the railroads.

	No Technical Limits to Bering Strait Project
		The third major advantage is that, since this new railway would obviously be built to high standards, the running speeds of the double stack trains typically 55 to 70 miles per hour, are much faster than that of ocean ships.
		Since Russia's railways are a different gauge, (the distance between the two rails of the track is different) than those in North America, traffic in the main part of Russia would require a change of equipment.
		However, by making the new railway the same gauge as in North America, all the way to the Chinese border, we do away with any need for transfers for freight moving to and from North America to China and Korea, since the track gauge there is the same as in North America.

	African-American Inventors & Inventions: Granville T. Woods - Prolific Inventor
		Since the Woods' Railway Telegraph Company was located in Cincinnati at that time, the extravagance of these two statements may be partly attributed to the civic pride, but they also truthfully reflected the inventive fertility of this mechanical genius.
		While he patented more than a dozen inventions for electric railways and many more for electrical control and distribution, his most noteworthy device in this area was the "Induction Telegraph", a system for communicating to and from moving trains.
		Accidents and collisions were causing great concern to both the public and the railways at that time and many electrical engineers were seeking improvement of the conventional telegraph as a solution.
