	TOPS - UK Railways - A Wikia wiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-27)
		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.

	Steve's Page on British Rail Diesels - The "Crompton" (class 33)
		The class 24s were returned to the LMR in 1962 but an occasional one was borrowed later so this wasn't the end of seeing these two locomotive classes running together.
		The class 33/1s and the remainder of the 33/0s were still allocated to Eastleigh which is also where all repair and major service work was done.
		The ninety four class 33 locomotives to remain in service in 1983 made up half of the Southern Region locomotive fleet with the rest of the fleet consisting of forty seven class 73 electro-diesels and forty seven shunting locomotives (mostly class 09 with the remainder being class 08 except for one class 03).

	British Railway Vocabulary
		British Rail was run by a certain Dr. Beeching during much of this period, and he oversaw an extensive programme (program in North America) of cutbacks, in which unprofitable branchlines were eliminated.
		In the earliest days of rail it was pretty well symmetrical, the idea being that the rail could be turned upside down once the upper half had worn down, though apparently this wasn’t actually done very often.
		On a typical British steam engine the firebox was the (often square cross-section, on Belpaire boilers) thing at the end of the boiler, before the cab starts.

	British Enterprise in South America
		Another British line is the Entre Rios Railway, which operates in the province of that name, which means "Between Rivers," and is bounded by the rivers Parana and Uruguay.
		The original concession granted in 1864 for a line, now forming part of the system, was for the broad gauge, but the railway company persuaded the Government to alter the gauge to standard, as the lines in the neighbouring countries of Uruguay and Brazil were of standard gauge.
		Chile's rail development is of importance to Bolivia and to western Argentina, as the Chilean ports provide an outlet for trade.

	British Rail Class 98 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		TOPS Class 98 has been used to cover all steam locomotives used on the mainline in Britain, but also has a particular usage for the three Vale of Rheidol Railway-design 2-6-2T locomotives that remained in the ownership of British Rail after the end of mainline steam traction in August 1968.
		Under TOPS they were allocated Class 98 and were nominally numbered 98007-98009, but these numbers were never actually carried on the locomotives.
		The Class 98 series has also been used for privately-owned steam locomotives registered to run on the mainline since 1971.

	Rail industry in crisis - A fighting programme for Rail Workers in Britain
		The rail bosses are currently attempting to further undermine the role and responsibility of the guard, with a view to eliminating this grade altogether.
		With the decimation of British industry under the Tories, and especially the massive closures of the coal and steel industries, many rail depots and yards were forced to close.
		When rail was first nationalised, Boards were appointed made up of ex-captains of private enterprise whose sole mandate was to run the industry within the confines of capitalism, and according to the laws of capitalist profitability.

	The Chinese Experience in America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-27)
		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.
