	Truck Trader UK \| Trucking News \| Port of Felixstowe Applies to Upgrade Branch Line - (december 2005)
		The TWA order would authorise the dualling of a four and a quarter mile section of the branch line, and the construction of three additional 24-wagon sidings within the existing Ipswich marshalling yard.
		The upgrade of the Felixstowe Branch Line is linked with the proposals, currently with Government, to reconfigure Felixstowe South.
		Subject to the necessary approvals, it is expected that the improved Felixstowe Branch Line would be fully operational by the end of 2009.

	Method and apparatus for splitting two-phase flow at pipe tees - Patent 4522218
		The quality of branch line flow may be monitored and control valves positioned in one or more takeoff pipes and in the branch line to facilitate branch line flow of variable quality and rate.
		This phenomenon occurs at pipeline branch points where a takeoff pipe extends radially outward from the axis of a trunk line (that is, substantially perpendicularly to the axis of the truck line).
		These relative diameters are estimated by considering that the desired branch line quality for a given branch line flow rate is the average of the known takeoff flow qualities weighted by the respective takeoff flow rates and that the relative flow rates through the takeoffs are proportional to the relative cross-sectional areas of the takeoffs.

	Chicago ''L''.org: Operations - Lines -> Ashland branch
		One was to leave the line between 55th and 59th Street and head in a generally easterly direction, terminating south of 63rd Street between Wentworth and Wallace.
		The Normal Park branch was to leave the main line near Wentworth and continue south to between 68th and 72nd streets.
		By 1905 the first half mile of the branch was completed and a shuttle was instituted between the first station at State Street and 58th Street on the main line, where passengers changed for Loop or Jackson Park trains.

	Railways of New Zealand: Waiau Branch
		The Waiau Branch was a typical rural NZ Railways branch line, leaving the South Island Main Trunk railway at Waipara, a small settlement 63 km north of Christchurch, and running 66 km through mainly flat country to Waiau on the south bank of the Waiau River.
		It was originally envisaged when the line was built that it would be the main railway line north to Picton, and indeed the current main line through Parnassus was terminated at that station in 1912 and the current route north not progressed until the 1930s.
		The branch went the way of many other rural lines in the 1960s and 1970s, with falling traffic, declining maintenance and increased road competition, and was closed to all traffic on 15 January 1978.

	Streamed Lines: Branching Patterns for Parallel Software Development
		When describing branching patterns, however, we try to be consistent in using the term "codeline" to refer to a longer-lived workstream, and using the term "branch" to mean a single activity-branch or a subbranch of a codeline.
		Branches and codelines are indicated with solid lines, whereas merges and propagations are indicated with dashed lines.
		Using file-oriented branching to represent project-oriented branching results in a fair amount of trivial merging where revision contents need to be propagated from branch to branch with little or no difference between them (often causing unnecessary rebuilds when in fact file-contents have not changed between revisions).

	Chicago ''L''.org: Operations - Lines -> Blue Line
		The Met's Garfield Park branch and main line were replaced wholesale with the adjacent and parallel Congress Line in the 1950s.
		The Milwaukee Line was extended first to Jefferson Park in the far Northwest Side of the city in 1970 via the median of the Kennedy Expressway (I-90/94), then again to O'Hare Airport in 1984 via the same median.
		At the same time, the Congress branch was renamed the "Forest Park branch" and the Douglas branch was renamed the "Cermak branch", with new destination-specific railcar destination signs to match, although many longtime riders still use the original names.

		A branch line is connected at one half wavelength away from one end of the transmission line.
		At a high level of the input signal when the electrical length of the branch line is increased by a quarter-wave, a very low impedance is presented by the branch line on the output end of the main transmission line significantly reducing the level of the output signal below the level of the input signal.
		At the end of the branch line a ferroelectric medium 29, whose permittivity is a function of the electric field across it, is connected.

	Ticonderoga Branch of Delaware & Hudson Railroad
		The small branch that split from the Lake George Branch (which I will call the Baldwin Branch from this point on) at Ticonderoga or Delano Junction and traveled into the Village of Ticonderoga was correctly referred to as the Ticonderoga Branch by the Delaware and Hudson and was owned by the Ticonderoga Railroad Company.
		The Baldwin Branch was constructed in 1874 between Baldwin's Landing (Baldwin Dock) on Lake George and Montcalm Landing on Lake Champlain.
		By February of 1872, this line was in operation with cars running regularly between Addison Junction, as the rail station on the west shore was known, and Rutland.

	A Brief History of the Georgetown Branch.
		The line was operated in some manner from 1889 until 1985 when it was proposed for abandonment; it served basically as a minor freight spur carrying coal and building materials to local outlets in Chevy Chase, Bethesda and Georgetown.
		The line passed through the community of Bethesda via a cut under present-day Wisconsin Avenue, and a small freight station was developed west of Wisconsin Avenue for the off-loading of coal and building materials.
		The Georgetown Branch had a final, brief moment of glory that same year when the Smithsonian Institution ran a restored John Bull steam locomotive on a section of the line from Georgetown to the Arizona Avenue trestle.

		Virtually the entire length of the branch line’s 18 mile route was single track, except at Dunmow and one or two other stations where dual track allowed trains to pass each other.
		During the Second World War the line was used to transport thousands of tons of rubble for the construction of Saling airfield, 5 miles from Braintree and, later, when it became operational, massive loads of bombs were carried to the same destination under cover of darkness.
		After the invasion of Europe in June 1944 the line was used by ambulance trains to bring back wounded soldiers – via the port of Harwich – to the military hospital at Haymeads Lane.

	The Loup Creek Branch Line - A history of the C and O Railway branch line railroad between Thurmond and Macdonald, West ...
		By late-1893, the rail line was completed from Thurmond to Glen Jean, and in January of 1894, the coal-hauling branch line railroad, officially known as the Loup Creek Branch, was completed to Macdonald.
		As the CandO lines began to slowly creep into previously undeveloped regions of the great coal fields of the plateau, many new coal mining operations began to be opened during the early 1900's, primarily between Glen Jean and Oak Hill.
		In the years that followed, the good amount of coal continued to be moved off the branch, through the 1970's, but by the 1980's, the once huge flow of coal from the branch had dwindled to a mere trickle.

	Danbury Branch Electrification Feasibility Study website
		It is the intention of the Department to conduct an evaluation of the feasibility of electrifying the New Haven Line’s Danbury Branch.
		These improvements would place the Branch in a better position to address two regional concerns; automobile congestion in the Route 7 and other adjacent north/south corridors and the exodus of Connecticut rail commuters to the Harlem Line in New York.
		The purpose of this study therefore is to evaluate a range of infrastructure and service improvements to determine their potential to significantly enhance the Branch’s attraction as a competitive alternative to driving in the Route 7 and other adjacent north/south corridors or commuting on the Harlem Line.

	Houma Branch
		This is the line of which I am most familiar as I grew up in Houma and passed a busy portion of it (Southdown Siding) every morning and afternoon on the school bus from 1975 to 1978.
		The rails of the branch main continued on another half mile or so where another siding cut off to the east making a sweeping ninety degree curve toward what used to be a large sawmill along Bayou Terrebonne.
		This was the original terminus of the line and featured a turntable in steam days near Hobson St. The yard itself was actually just a flat expanse of ground with several tracks fanning out as team tracks.

		This ground-breaking branch line history - the most ambitious yet published by Wild Swan - chronicles the history and life of the Watlington branch.
		But that is much of the charm of the place, and it is the quietness, the slowness and the almost storybook nature of the railway that attracted the authors of this fascinating and absorbing book to spend many years researching it.
		The authors believe in their approach that railway history is not just to do with facts, dates and locomotive classes, but it is also about the people who worked on and used the line, and this account relies very heavily upon lengthy interviews with the former staff and local people.
