	Taussig, Some Aspects of the Tariff Question, Part III, Chapter X: Library of Economics and Liberty
		On steel rails, the rate was $28.00 per ton from 1870 to 1883; $17.00 from 1883 to 1890; $13.44 from 1890 to 1894; and $7.84 from 1894 to 1909.
		The duty on steel rails was particularly high, being equivalent to one hundred per cent on the foreign price during most of the time from 1870 to 1883, and from 1883 to 1894 still equivalent to between fifty and eighty per cent.
		Probably rates would have been reduced even more had rails been cheaper; but it would be hazardous to reckon how far the tariff system, in keeping up their price, brought a burden on the general public, how far it simply lessened the profits or increased the losses of railway promoters and investors.

		The normal career of a class of locomotive in Britain is approximately 30 years, due to a traditional age statistic used in assessing locomotive usability.
		Interestingly the traction motors on this heavy locomotive were not axle-hung, unlike that of the (much!) later British class 86 which proved to be an expensive mistake in terms of track damage.
		Similar aerodynamic tests were carried out on British Rail by the infamous locomotive 86 204 City of Carlisle in preparation for the Intercity 125 HST.

	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.

		The unit was one of a batch of fifteen built at Eastleigh in 1954/5 for use on the South Shields services, and therefore became one of the last Tyneside third rail EMUs ever built.
		British Rail decided to withdraw electric traction from these routes and the South Tyneside route was the first to be replaced by diesel units when that route was de-electrified in 1963.

	Economy of Pakistan Summary
		Rail transport was almost nonexistent in East Pakistan and in the western provinces, and the railways ran from the interior to Karachi but not between the provinces.
		The world's largest irrigation system, developed by the British, was bifurcated due to the division of Punjab Province between India (which received the eastern portion) and Pakistan (which received the western portion).
		The partition of British India had caused massive population movements, with Hindus and Sikhs leaving the western provinces of Pakistan to move to India and Muslims leaving India to settle in the provinces of Punjab and Sindh (in particular, Karachi) in Pakistan.

		During the 1970's and 80's several members of the class were gradually withdrawn as a result of accidents or the need for major re-wiring and overhauls.

	Notes on Railroad Accidents - 1879
		The first-class passenger, except when thrown against his opposite companion, or when some luggage falls upon him, is generally saved from severe contusion by the well-stuffed or padded linings of the carriages; whilst the second-class and third-class passenger is generally thrown with violence against the hard wood-work.

		The British Rail Class 251, more commonly known as the Blue Pullman units, were diesel-electric multiple units built by the Pullman Car Company in 1960.
		In the end, the expense of maintaining and operating such a small, non-standard fleet for such a few services was too much to bear, even after all five units had been concentrated on the Western Region, and they were withdrawn in the early 1970s.
