	San Diego & Arizona Railway History
		The San Diego and Arizona Railway Company had been incorporated secretly in June by John D. Spreckels, his brother Adolph B., they being the sons of Claus, the Sugar King of San Francisco; John D., Jr.; William Clayton and Harry L. Titus.
		A Baldwin ten wheeled locomotive, built in 1906 and formerly operated on the Bullfrog and Goldfield Railway, was purchased in 1919.
		At the end of 1955, locomotives numbers 103, 105 and 106 were still on the active list of the Southern Pacific, but they will undoubtedly be scrapped when their time runs out and they need major repairs.

	Rail transport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A typical railway (or railroad) track consists of two parallel steel (or in older networks, iron) rails, generally anchored perpendicular to beams (termed sleepers (Commonwealth except Canada) or railroad ties (U.S. and Canada) of timber, concrete, or steel to maintain a consistent distance apart, or gauge.
		Railways are always built to stand above surrounding terrain to prevent track flooding, erosion of the bed and decay of the ties.
		This was soon followed by the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, which proved the viability of rail transport, with Stephenson's famous Rocket steam locomotive.

	Rail transport (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.isi.jhu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Like other forms of public transport, many railways are having to make considerable investment in order to meet new requirements for security in the face of recent terrorism incidents, for instance the Madrid train bombings of March 11, 2004.
		Railways soon spread throughout Britain and through the world, and became the dominant means of land transport for nearly a century, until the invention of aircraft and automobiles, which prompted a gradual decline in railways.
		In Britain the term railway often refers to the complete organisation of tracks, trains, stations, signaling, timetables and the organising companies which collectively make up a coordinated railway system, while permanent way or p/way refers to the tracks alone.

		Although railways are the safest form of land transport, there have been, over the past century, a number of significant accidents which have involved great loss of life.
		Inevitably, because of the scale and the potential for loss of life, railway accidents tend to stay in the public conciousness much more than motorway pile-ups.
		With his background in railway safety, Stanley Hall is ideally placed to bring his expertise and experience to this guide to many of the most interesting and significant of Britains railway disasters.
