	British Columbia - MSN Encarta
		When British Columbia joined the Dominion of Canada in 1871, it was on the condition that the province be connected to central Canada by railroad.
		British Columbia’s economy was largely based on the exploitation of natural resources through mining, lumbering, and fisheries, which produced a range of goods for export.
		Class tensions were increased by the presence of Asian immigrants, who first came to British Columbia with the gold rush.

		The enclosures displaced many tenant farmers from their lands and produced a class of wandering, unemployed “sturdy beggars.” The Elizabethan poor laws were an attempt to deal with this problem.
		Britain’s overseas possessions (see British Empire) were augmented by the victorious outcome of the War of the Spanish Succession, ratified in the Peace of Utrecht (1713).
		Domestically the long ministry of Sir Robert Walpole (1721–42), during the reigns of George I and George II, was a period of relative stability that saw the beginnings of the development of the cabinet as the chief executive organ of government.

	TOPS - UK Railways - A Wikia wiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		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 423 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British Rail Class 423 (or 4Vep) electrical multiple units were built by BR at York Works from 1967-74, although the MBSOs and TSOs of the first 20, 7701-7720, were constructed at Derby Works.
		The units were reclassified as Class 423/9 (or 4Vop) and renumbered in the range 3901-3919.
		Although first introduced in 2002, this did not initially affect the Class 423 as the older 'Phase 1' Class 421 units were withdrawn first, due to their age and lower seating capacity.

		Rail movements in the I-5 corridor from Vancouver, WA to the British Columbia border include many origins and destinations, commodities, and railroads.
		After the rail traffic is assigned to highway corridors and specific highway sections, it is converted to equivalent combination (3-S2) trucks.
		An initial estimate of the average tons per truck is made by dividing the net tons in the rail car by the ratio of the cubic capacity of the rail car to the cubic capacity of the trailer.

	Pension Arbitration Trumped by Class Proceeding Legislation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Class action legislation requires the court to certify a proceeding as a class proceeding if certain statutory requirements are met.
		In order to resolve the statutory conflict, the British Columbia Court of Appeal ruled that where a court finds that a class proceeding must be certified by meeting the statutory test set out in the applicable legislation the court must find that the arbitration agreement is ‘inoperative’.
		In essence, the British Columbia Court of Appeal in Mackinnon resolved the statutory conflict by requiring a court to weigh the circumstances of each case to determine whether a class proceeding or arbitration is the preferable procedure.

	Ged Class
		70% of GED recipients complete at least the 10th grade before leaving school, and the same number are over the age of 19, with the average age being 24.
		These locomotives were not as successful as their production cousins in Class 42, and all were withdrawn by the end of the 1960s.
		Like most NBL designs, these locomotives were not very successful, and were withdrawn before their Class 42 sisters, themselves doomed to a short life because of the decision to standardise on diesel-electric transmission for mainline locomotives.

	The Railway Takes All
		The British railway companies are by law termed "common carriers." This means that they are not in a position to select or refuse any particular freight, and, apart from a few exceptional instances, they have to accept whatever load is offered to them by the trader.
		If a British train had undertaken to haul this stupendous load and the 20-ton wagons had been used, 573 of them would have been required and the length of the train would have been over two miles.
		The 70 animals occupied 15 cages, each weighing about 5 tons, and waited in the hold of a ship at Newhaven for the railway to convey them to the circus at Olympia.

	The Chinese Experience in America
		The Chinese who came to America in the late nineteenth century were mainly poor peasants and workers who had to struggle to survive in the destitute circumstances of their times.
		But the war did not solve the opium issue and for several years opium was not contraband in the newly annexed British colony of Hong Kong, from where the Chinese carried opium into the United States.
		It is not clear, then, whether the secret societies in America were simply different branches of the parent Triad of China or emanated from one branch of the Triad which first came to the New World.
