  Industrial railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
An industrial railway is a type of private railway used exclusively to serve a particular industry inside a mine or factory compound.
Industrial railways were once very common, but with the rise of road transport, their numbers have greatly diminished.
Most industrial railways are short, usually being only a few kilometres long, but there are notable exceptions—examples of which include the iron ore-carrying railways in Western Australia which are hundreds of kilometres in length and exist to transport iron ore from the inland to the coast.

Twenty-five years after Brock Adams, President Jimmy Carter's Transportation Secretary, said those words, industrial and architectural design are regaining their prominence in the American passenger rail transportation landscape.
Not since the days of icons like Raymond Loewy, Henry Dreyfuss, and Otto Kuhler, who captured the imagination of millions of railroad passengers with timeless designs, has aesthetics commanded so much attention in the U.S. Visually inspiring, ergonomic, functional rolling stock and stations have long been a part of European systems.
Design can do that as well, but the form should enhance the function of the product to which it is applied, whether it's a locomotive or a potato peeler.
