	London and North Eastern Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The North Eastern Railway owned the largest mileage: 1757 route miles (2828 km), as compared with the North British Railway (1378 miles or 2218 km) and the Hull and Barnsley Railway, at 106.5 miles (171 km).
		In partnership with the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS), the LNER was co-owner of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway, the UK's biggest joint railway system, much of which competed with the LNER's own lines.
		The public face of a railway system was and is in large part the locomotives and rolling stock in service upon it, and therefore the personalities of the Chief Mechanical Engineers of the LNER impressed their distinctive visions upon the railway.

	East Kent Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The East Kent Railway (EKR) was incorporated in 1853 for the construction of a line from the South Eastern Railway (SER) (North Kent line) at Strood to the city of Canterbury.
		In 1850 the railway provision in the north of the county of Kent was very poor.
		The construction of the line took a long time: it was not until March 1858 that the section from Strood was opened as far as Faversham, and that was single track line (with provision for doubling) throughout its length.

	Tomlinson's North eastern Railway
		He had worked in the Accounts Office of the North Eastern and the history was written during the period 1900 to 1914 with the official blessing of his employer.
		Thus it was an official history – the North Eastern was proud of its heritage, and without this corporate dignity, as exemplified by the national collection of locomotives at York and through this book, the serious record of railway history would be vastly poorer.
		Further evidence for the coherent nature of railways in Great Britain is found on page 617: "In furtherance of their policy of improving the East Coast Route, the North Eastern Company were now applying for powers to complete the connection between the authorised Team Valley line and the main line north of Ferryhill.

	ALBERT GORDON, RESPONDENT, v. EASTERN RAILWAY SUPPLY, INC. ET AL., APPELLANTS. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		GATX Capital Corp. owned the railroad car; Ebenezer, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eastern, was the contractor performing the work for GATX; and Eastern owned the "sandhouse" in which the cleaning was performed and the property upon which the "sandhouse" was situated.
		Eastern acknowledges that it owns the property where the accident took place but notes that it leased it to Ebenezer and that it neither contracted to have the work performed nor was the work performed for its benefit.
		Similarly unpersuasive is Eastern's claim that since it was not the "owner" of the "structure", i.e., the railroad car, it cannot be held liable.

	A Mountain Calling - The Tacoma Eastern Railroad-Linking Puget Sound and Mount Rainier National Park
		The group effectively designed the Tacoma Eastern as it would eventually be built, but before their plans could be realized, the relentless effect of the national depression, plus petty political bickering over the related sale and operation of Tacoma's light and water systems stalled the project.
		By 1905 the Tacoma Eastern had built an impressive collection of rolling stock, with 13 steam engines, hundreds of flatcars, boxcars and stockcars all marked with the distinctive Tacoma Eastern moniker—T.E.R.R. Several of the engines and many of the flatcars were traceable to the prior inventory of the Chicago, Milwaukee and Saint Paul Railway.
		The Tacoma Eastern's main shops were situated at Bismark on the outskirts of the city, but in 1910 the Milwaukee Road merged these employees and operations with their own on the Tacoma tide flats.

		He was a North Eastern man, and it has been suggested that his dislike stemmed partly from Gresley's rejection of the work of Vincent Raven.

		The cow got through a hole in the railway fence and was killed on the railway track by the defendant's train.
		The plaintiff's cow was therefore a trespasser upon this land, and I do not think the Railway Company were bound to fence for her protection.
