		British Railways (BR), later rebranded as British Rail, ran the British railway system, between the nationalisation of the 'Big Four' British railway companies in 1948 until it was privatised in stages between 1994 and 1997.
		Historically, the term "British Rail" only dates from the mid-1960s, the nationalised railway previously being known as "British Railways" as shown in the early logos of the nationalised railway, including the "cycling lion".
		Between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s the size of the British rail network was reduced from around 20,000 miles to 12,000 miles as a result of the "Beeching Axe", the cost-cutting review conducted by BR Chairman Dr Richard Beeching.

	British Rail Class 86 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The British Rail Class 86 is the standard electric locomotive built during the 1960s, developed as a result of testing with the earlier Classes 81, 82, 83, 84 and 85.
		In the mid-1990s, British Rail was privatised, and the Class 86 fleet was divided among several operators.
		Generally, the locomotive was at the south end (or London end) of a formation, with the DBSO at the north (or country end) of the train.

		British Railways came into existence on 1_January 1948 with the merger of the Big Four, under the control of the Railway_Executive of the British_Transport_Commission (BTC).

		These locomotives were destined to lead short lives, some as little as 5 years against a design life of over 30 years, because of the decision to end the use of steam traction in 1968.

	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.

	UP: Union Pacific Orders 10 "Green Goat" Hybrid Locomotives for Southern California Rail Yard Operations
		Costing $8.2 million, this is Union Pacific’s largest purchase of the hybrid-technology locomotives called "Green Goats." They are designed to cut air emissions by 80 to 90 percent and reduce diesel fuel use by 40 to 60 percent compared to conventional diesel-powered locomotives used in switching service.
		Delivery of the hybrid locomotives is expected to begin late this year and continue into early 2006.
		The 2005 Green Goat hybrid locomotives meet the Environmental Protection Agency’s most stringent "Tier 2" locomotive emissions regulations and have been designated by CARB as "ultra-low emitting locomotives" because their nitrous oxide emissions are significantly less than the federal limit.
