	1942 Quiz Book on Railroads and Railroading (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Rails of standard length which are welded together at the ends to form a single rail hundreds or thousands of feet in length are known as "continuous rail." Among the advantages claimed for continuous rail over standard length rail are a smoother track, longer service life, reduced maintenance cost and greater safety.
		Rails ranging in weight from 50 to 152 pounds per yard are in use on the railroads of the United States.
		The outer rail is elevated to balance the overturning forces that are set up by a train rounding a curve, for the same scientific reason that a circular track for motorcycle, bicycle or motorcar racing is tilted upward from the inner to the outer rim.

		The class suit was an invention of equity to enable it to proceed to a decree in suits where the number of those interested in the subject of the litigation is so great that their joinder as parties in conformity to the usual rules of procedure is impracticable.
		If the class judgment is in favor of the defendant, the former class members are not bound by this result as the defendant is not allowed to invoke the doctrine against them.

	Testbedford
		The LMS, by contrast, gave the number to the first Co-Co diesel-electric to run on British rails, a far-sighted decision for a wheel arrangement and traction type that became the mainstay of British railways into the 1970s and 80s.
		The LMS 10000 specifically was the direct ancestor of the English Electric class 40 and an engine with the same wheel arrangement, the 37, a standard goods loco of which 308 were built under British Rail.
		The English Electric 0-6-0 diesel shunter however, first tested on LMS lines under the watchful eye of Stanier in 1935, turned out to be the ancestor of the humble "gronk" or class 08, British Rail's most prolific loco ever with 945 of them running at the peak of their popularity in the 1970s.
