	TOPS - UK Railways - A Wikia wiki
		In the mid to late 1960s British Railways (soon to be rebranded as British Rail) was searching around for ways to increase efficiency, and came across the TOPS system being used by the Canadian National Railways.
		No class of locomotive or multiple unit numbered over a thousand examples, so the last three digits were used for the individual number (between 001 and 999) in that class.
		Locomotives are assigned classes from 01 to 98, with diesel locomotives assigned classes 01 to 69, DC electric locomotives between 70 and 79, AC electric locomotives 80-96, departmental locos (those not in revenue-earning use) 97, and steam locomotives 98.

	British Rail Class 499 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		British Rail allocated Class 499 to a fleet of six luggage vans used in electric multiple unit formations on boat train services between London and Dover.
		After a period in use as match wagons for transferring new Class 430 and 491 units from York Works, they were all taken into departmental stock initially as stores vans, but later as breakdown train tool vans.
		After 1994, Railtrack allocated Class 499 to identify London Underground electric multiple units used on its lines, in particular the sets used on the Bakerloo Line services to Harrow and Wealdstone.

	British Rail Class 376 information - Search.com
		It is a derivative of the Class 375 Electrostar designed specifically for use on the high-volume metro routes around London, England operated by Southeastern.
		The Class 376's doors are wider to allow more passengers to board at once, and are metro-style sliding doors which are faster and more reliable than the Class 375's plug doors, although they do not provide as much insulation for heating and cooling purposes.
		Class 376 units are five carriages long, and unlike the Class 375, have full-width cabs instead of gangways at the ends of the train; it is therefore not possible to walk between two coupled Class 376 units.

	British Rail Class 318 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British Rail Class 318 is an electric multiple unit train, which operates exclusively in the SPT network in West Central Scotland.
		Effectively a 3-car version of the Class 317 units used in the South East region, 22 of these Mark 3-based units were built by BREL at York works between 1984-1985, to replace the elderly Class 101 DMU's which had worked the Glasgow South Western sector for nearly 30 years.
		In common with the Class 320 units, the door open button is at the bottom rather than the top.

	C&NW Roster Notes
		The GP50s were originally intended to be delivered as CandNW 5000-5049 (note the reversion to use of "00" for the class unit), but the inability to renumber CandNW/METRA E8 suburban locomotives from the lower numbered 5000 series obviously created a conflict, and the GP50s were delivered as 5050-5099.
		The signal current passing through the rails when a clear block exists ahead of a train is detected by pick-up coils located underneath the front pilot, behind the plow or breastplate.

	British Rail Class 156 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first 100 units were all ordered by the Provincial sector of British Rail, and therefore carried Provincial livery.
		Therefore, the Class 156 fleet were mostly displaced onto shorter journeys, such as Worcester to Nottingham, Birmingham to Leicester, Crewe to Derby and Nottingham to Skegness.
		In the former Arriva Trains Northern area the units are based at either Neville Hill depot in Leeds, or Heaton depot in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and are used for longer-distance trains, such as Leeds to Carlisle, Newcastle-upon-Tyne to Carlisle, York to Blackpool, and on the Esk Valley Line between Whitby and Middlesbrough.

	Electric Railroader’s Association
		When Valley Metro Rail officials opened the latest edition of METRO Magazine, a national publication covering the transportation industry, there was Richard Simonetta, CEO of Valley Metro Rail, honored as one of the 50 most influential people in transportation during the past 100 years.
		Both those rail systems took years to plan and build, and still more years to find their audience, or even create a target demographic that never thought of riding a train to work or school, to run errands, or get to recreation and nightlife.
		But adding streetcars, close cousins of light rail that run on city streets and are powered by electricity, would increase the cost of what has been a bare-bones, foot-in-the-door proposal and might provide political fodder to rail opponents.

	Where are the missing K-28s?
		With 15 K-27 "Mudhens", and 10-locomotive sets of each class K-28, K-36, and K-37, all delivered between 1903 and 1928, the Rio Grande's roster was the largest of any slim gauge.
		The locomotives earned their odd nicknames early in their illustrious careers, when they were prone to derailment on the line's 30- to 40-pound rails.
		Although two of the K-27s (the leakiest, hardest-riding pair) were foisted off on Rio Grande Southern ownership, all 45 locomotives ultimately prowled the entire 650-plus miles of the Narrow Gauge Circle.
