	Cambrian Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the line survived the Beeching Axe, the number of stations on the lines was heavily rationalised in the 1960s onwards.
		While the coast line is generally a good performer, services between Aberystwyth and Birmingham New Street have deteriorated hugely since the early 2000s and are now the least punctual in Britain [2].

	Cambrian and Ordovician Rocks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		They formed in the Cambrian Period, between 560 and 504 million years ago, and the Ordovician Period, between 504 and 438 million years ago.
		The Cambrian Period is the earliest division of the Paleozoic Era, followed by the Ordovician period.
		During the Cambrian, life began to bloom in the Earth's oceans.

	Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth Rail Passenger Association
		The line was built using local labour and the capital to finance the project was sourced locally a pattern that was to repeated with nearly all the sections that make up today’s route.
		Thus the main Cambrian Line was formed between Whitchurch (Shropshire) and Aberystwyth, passengers for Shrewsbury (and beyond) had to change at Welshpool right up until the 1960’s with the exception of some through workings such as the Cambrian Coast Express.
		Though no one is certain why the line to Aberystwyth and Coastline survived the axe the most fashionable theory is that the incoming Wilson government found the hole in the rail network map unacceptable for political reasons.

	The Cambrian Period of the Paleozoic Era
		The Cambrian Period marks an important point in the history of life on earth; it is the time when most of the major groups of animals first appear in the fossil record.
		In the United States, early Cambrian formations are found in the Appalachian; the sandstones near Waucoba Springs, southern California; and the thick layers of conglomerates and sandstones in Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina.
		However, Cambrian marine life was quite different from modern biotas; the dominant invertebrates with hard parts were trilobites, inarticulate brachiopods, archaeocyathids, and problematic conical fossils known as hyolithids.

	Heathcote Shiraz
		Over the past 30 odd years the pioneers of the Heathcote district have extolled the virtues of having their vineyard planted on Cambrian earth – the soils are the result of a very long weathering process, having been formed from Cambrian rocks which are over 500 million years old.
		Much of the land is yet to be planted to vine and local farmers who have this soil profile on their properties have realised its real estate potential and are demanding high prices per acre compared to farms on grey loams.
		The relatively young vines upon Tyrrell’s particular vineyard are planted in the russet red cambrian soil, found at the foot of Mt Camel at the Southern end of the Colbinabbin Range.

	Cambrian Railways Trust - Preservation
		The largest locomotives allowed on the Cambrian system were the “Manor” class, specifically designed by Swindon for use on the Cambrian system.
		Attempts to do this were frustrated by the continuing use of the line for stone traffic to and from Blodwell Quarry.
		When it appeared that Railtrack were finally going to relinquish control of the line, the Society decided to form the Cambrian Railways Trust.

	Handprint : Geoevolution
		In the late Cambrian, continental blocks comprising about one third of the supercontinent Rodinia, which extended from the South Pole to the equator, broke away and drifted north and west.
		However, Cambrian marine life was quite different from modern life forms; the dominant invertebrates with hard parts were trilobites, inarticulate brachiopods, archaeocyathids, and problematic conical fossils known as hyolithids.
		Many Early Cambrian invertebrates are known only from "small shelly fossils" -- tiny plates and scales and spines and tubes and so on, many of which were pieces of the skeletons of larger animals.

	Early Cambrian Articulate Brachiopods from the Marble Mountains, San Bernardino County, California
		This fauna is characteristic of the late Early Cambrian Bonnia-0lenellus Zone of Rasetti (1951), the youngest of the three Early Cambrian zones (Fritz, 1972), and is assigned to the "Bristolia Subsone" of Mount (1974,1974b).
		On the ventral valve the cardinal line slopes toward the beak at an angle of about 20°, while in the dorsal valve it is lose than 10°.
		The cardinal line is shorter than the greatest width of the shell.

	BBC - Shropshire - History - Cambrian Railways
		The 1860s were part of the golden age of railways, when hundreds of small companies sprung up and built tiny branch lines, backed by private investors speculating in the hope of making a fast buck.
		So the line between Shrewsbury and Chester was built with a big kink in it to take it around the border market town.
		Cambrian Railways ran a huge network covering much of north and mid Wales, as Ellesmere and several branch lines centred on Oswestry.

		The summit-level of the line at 790 feet, is in the middle of the tunnel, and after what always seems an age in the darkness, the train suddenly bursts into the open to be confronted by an astonishing vista.
		The Cambrian coast line to Machynlleth passes under the Ffestiniog railway and access is via a subway from the end of the left hand platform.
		Originally the narrow-gauge line started from the main line station and ran through the streets of the town, but today it is necessary to walk to Raven Square at the opposite end of the town to find the terminus; however this is a journey well worth making.

	Bala Lake Railway: History
		The line was operated by the Great Western, which absorbed it in 1877.
		From that time, the line was gradually run down, with the long distance holiday trains and through freight traffic being diverted to the Cambrian main line through Welshpool and other facilities rationalised.
		The canopy supports were built for the Cambrian Railways station at Pwllheli, but were taken down when the station was moved in 1907.

		The line from Pwllheli to Machynlleth - or strictly speaking Dyfi Junction - encompasses some of the finest coastal and mountain scenery to be seen from a train anywhere in Britain.
		The Cambrian Railways design signalbox was only in use as a ground frame by this time.
		The "Cambrian Coast Express" was introduced by the Great Western Railway and, in steam days, carried a portion for coast line stations as well.

		Following the derailment of 37421 Strombidae on Dyfi bridge in August 1991, Class 37s were banned from the line by the Mechanical Engineer of B.R. Class 31s having a low Route Availability of RA5 continued the occasional engineering working and hauled the Summer Saturday service trains until mid-Summer 1993.

	Cambrian Railways - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cambrian connected with two of the larger railways to give connections to the North West of England, via the London and North Western Railway; and with the Great Western Railway for connections between London and North Wales.
		The earliest section of the Cambrian was the section from Three Cocks to Talyllyn.
		The headquarters of the Cambrian Railways was at Oswestry.

	The Colonel Stephens Museum - Stopped at Llanymynech
		West of Llanymynech station and the Cambrian line was an area rich in stone, lime and minerals that had been a principal destination of the Ellesmere (later Shropshire Union) Canal promoted in the late 18th century.
		When built the Potts had an interchange station at Llanymynech and then crossed the main Oswestry to Welshpool line of the Cambrian on a double flat crossing (at some point between 1877 and 1888 converted to a double junction) with a single connection in the south-westerly direction.
		Meanwhile the Cambrian threw in every delaying tactic from quoting spurious rates to submitting unduly high costs for reinstatement of facilities for through traffic-despite the fact that they were all in place and in use- to simply refusing to meet or reply to letters.

	Cambrian ramblings
		The Potts line between Shrewsbury and Llanymynech closed completely in 1880, and was reopened as the Shropshire and Montgomeryshire in 1907.
		In the meantime, the Nantmawr branch was acquired by the Cambrian, and thus remained in use until relatively recently.
		We followed the track back to Oswestry, where the Cambrian Railway Society has the use of a siding to the south of the station.

		The line’s traffic was meagre and the area that it served lacked population and it closed on December 21, after a writ was served by an angry debenture holder.
		Nantmawr quarry, which provided the line with substantial traffic, seems to have taken a long time to be connected to the main line.
		The whole line, apart from the Criggion branch, was re-laid with new concrete sleepers and 75 pound rail.

	Palaeos Paleozoic: Cambrian: Early Cambrain: The Atdabanian Age
		The Atdbanian Age was the third stage of the Early Cambrian.
		Actually, the ICS doesn't recognize the Early Cambrian, either, and has tentatively divided the first 29 My of the Cambrian into two (unnamed) epochs, which are each to contain two (likewise unnamed) ages with appropriate (but unspecified) base dates.
		As we said, trilobites appeared for the first time, and were to continue to flourish for some hundred million years or more, before going into a slow decline at the end of the Ordovician.

	Safety at occupation level crossings (01/11/99)
		The Cambrian line between Shrewsbury and Machynlleth follows the upper Severn valley as far a Caersws and then climbs over the foothills of the Cambrian Mountains to a summit at Talerddig before dropping to near sea level at the Dovey Estuary.
		The entire line is rural with small roads, farm access tracks and footpaths crossing the line throughout its length.
		The Cambrian Line is mostly single with passing places on the 59 mile eastern section at Welshpool (18 miles), Newtown (32 miles), Talerddig (45 miles) and Machynlleth.

	Pharyngula: The Cambrian as an evolutionary exemplar
		The Cambrian itself begins 543 million years ago, and is broken up into periods several millions of years in length with their own distribution of fossils.
		It's during the Middle Cambrian that we can say most of the modern phyla are present, although of course the representatives of those phyla don't look much at all like their modern members.
		As to the cause of the so-called "Cambrian Explosion" it was actually the coming together of a number of factors which all worked together.

	Tractor travel
		So the path on the single line was immediately lost, which meant 25 minutes delay to start with.
		And secondly, much time was lost on the coast line, where the 11 coach trains had to pull forward at most of the stations.
		In the Welsh Highland station, which is adjacent to the Cambrian line, the sounds of a Westinghouse pump could clearly be heard.

	WHR Project Phase 4 - the Cambrian Crossing
		By this time the other narrow gauge crossing was long gone; the Gorsedda Junction and Portmadoc Railways crossed the Cambrian at a point adjacent to the present WHR (Porthmadog) café.
		The GWR seems to have regarded the crossing as an irritation, and the charges imposed on the WHR for manning it led to the practice of terminating most WHR trains north of the crossing from 1929 onwards - a commercially suicidal move, as it meant a trek well outside the town centre for intending passengers.
		The trackbed leading into the old Portmadoc New station runs across the view almost horizontally beyond the Cambrian line, on a level with the word "Listen" on the crossing board on the right.

	phylum level evolution
		This is especially true of the so-called ‘Cambrian explosion,’ Where all the major body plans (phyla) of the animals appear in just five or ten million years (more than five hundred million years ago), with nothing comparable having happened before or since.
		To claim that all or even the majority of animal phyla appear in the Cambrian is demonstrably FALSE yet the claim is blindly made being repeated endlessly by apologist to apologist with no one even questioning the validity of the statement.
		The interval marked by the Cambrian 'explosion' is also a time when quite unusual amounts of sedimentary phosphate were being deposited in the shallow shelf seas that rimmed continents.
