	Railway: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
		The railway did indeed fulfill some of the ambitions of its earliest promoters, as a "development road." The line and associated developments in heavy industry, transportation and communications were key to developing the forest industries of Newfoundland, mining and hydro-electricity.
		The railway itself, and attempts by the Reid family to encourage development of the lands awarded under various operating contracts, not only made the vast interior known but further made the potential of land-based resources a staple of public policy.
		Completion of the railway contributed to the settling of French Shore issue, opened the west coast to further settlement and provided a tangible link with the rest of the country.

	Railways in Draycott
		Although the village of Draycott-en-le-Moors has never actually had its own railway station, the parish has actually contained two railway stations and three railway lines within its borders over the years, and its railway heritage is as interesting as any other aspect of the parish's history.
		The first railways in the area, (though not in the actual parish of Draycott), were not railways in the present sense of the word.
		Railways first came to the parish in 1848 in the form of the Stoke to Uttoxeter line which opened on 7th August of that year, by the North Staffordshire Railway Company, known locally as "The Knotty" due to its symbol being the Staffordshire Knot.

	Wikinfo \| Heritage railway (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A heritage railway is a term used, especially in Great Britain, for a railway which is run as a tourist attraction and is usually but not always run by volunteers, and seeks to re-create railway scenes of the past.
		Heritage railways are usually railway lines which were once run as proper commercial railways, but were later no longer needed, or were closed down, and were taken over or re-opened by volunteers.
		There are an especially large number of heritage railways in the United Kingdom due to the large number of railway lines that were closed in the 1960s, and British people's liking for railways.

	Heritage Railways Getting Steamed Up Over New Rules - Technology - RedOrbit
		The future of heritage railways which bring back the lost age of steam could be under threat from new safety regulations.
		But the Heritage Railway Association has said that the HSE, in its interpretation of an EU directive, is trying to bring in new arrangements requiring heritage societies to employ an inspector themselves.
		He went on: "The UK Government had the right to exempt heritage railways from the EU directive and it seems to me that the HSE is hiding behind the directive when it could easily sort this out themselves.

	Conserving Railway Heritage - Jim Cornell
		During this time the railways’ power and prestige were expressed in the many ambitious buildings and structures that were needed to handle the ever-increasing business.
		Railway heritage was regarded in the same manner and the situation probably made worse as the industry lurched from one financial crisis to another.
		The British Railways Board, conscious of the interest and variety of British Rail's heritage, responded positively by establishing the Railway Heritage Trust in April 1985.

	The Furness Railway Company
		In November 1843, a Prospectus was published for the Furness Railway, linking the slate quarries of Kirkby in Furness, and iron ore in the Lindal area to a deep water berth at Roa Island (south of Barrow in Furness at the mouth of the Walney Channel).
		The Government's Railway Act of 1921 signalled the end of the plethora of interlinking independent railway companies, many of whom dated back to the earliest years of railways in Britain, the country that gave birth to the railway.
		British Railways closed the Coniston branch to passengers in 1958 and goods in 1962, the Lakeside branch lost its passenger service in 1965 - thankfully part of the line is still open as the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway - running what is now the last surviving Furness Railway branch line.

	14 February 2006 - Heritage Railways Steamed up Over New Safety Requirements
		Heritage Railway enthusiasts are feeling the heat over Health and Safety Regulations, which leaves enthusiasts having to pay thousands of pounds in order to keep the railway heritage alive.

		With the railway inspectorate stopping doing the work, there is a danger that the number of people with the relevant experience will dry up.

	Semmering Railway - World Heritage Site - Pictures, info and travel reports
		The Semmering-Railway has uncontested a very important status under the world's mountain railways: It is the first one which crossed a high-mountains area and counts therefore as the prototype of railway lines rich of bridges and tunnel as well as a symbol of taming the nature.
		A drive on this railway line was experienced aesthetically from the begining and influenced in the sequel also the perception of the alpine landscape.
		The Semmering Railway is one of the masterpieces of 19th century architecture and engineering, but you have to be very interested in technology and related fields (I´m not) to appreciate these aspects of the railway (the viaducts are impressive though).
