	Engineering in New Zealand - North Island
		This centre rail is in profile like a dumb-bell - similar, that is to say, to a track rail of the type used in Great Britain, apart from the fact that the head and foot are equal in size - but it is laid on its side, instead of in the vertical position.
		The purpose of the centre rail is to provide for additional adhesion, and the Fell locomotives, in addition to their ordinary driving wheels, are provided underneath, with a pair of horizontal driving wheels, one on either side of the centre rail.
		During this idle period, however, the bore was not entirely without use, for horsemen and pack horses made a practice of passing through it on their way to the King Country, running the risk of getting "bogged" in the stiff clay somewhere in the middle of this fl hole in the hills.

	From the Editor: Open access, safety don't necessarily mix - Railway Age, November 2000
		It was the U.K.'s third major passenger rail accident in three years, and it was blamed on a broken rail.
		Broken rail detection is a built-in safety benefit of tried-and-true track circuits, and it's generally agreed here that it's a benefit we cannot afford to lose.
		British Rail's complex, problematic privatization generated a two-tiered penalty system: Train operators that cause delays must pay a penalty to Railtrack.

	Social Classes - Proletariat
		The extreme degree of economic concentration and class polarization can be further seen by the fact that only 6% of wage workers in the private sector work for the petty proprietors; the remaining 94% work for the capitalist class (employers of five or more workers).
		The characteristics that distinguish this class from the petty-bourgeois strata of wage-earners are its separation from the responsibilities of management, the relatively greater weight of manual labor in its work, the relatively smaller amount of education required to carry out its work, and, for the great majority, lower wages and worse working conditions.
		With the deepening of the economic crisis the capitalist class is forced to narrow the ranks of the labor aristocracy, reducing many to the position of common workers.

		Rail transit does this best, which is why DVARP believes that good rail transit is essential to the quality of life in the Delaware Valley.

		Better rail access to airports is needed, but the stations should be at the terminal and not at the edge of the field.
