		Most railway signals worldwide use a multi-unit signal head with a separate lamp and lens system for each aspect colour, although there are still many "searchlight" type signals in use in the U.S. Reflectors are not used because of the risk of stray sunlight giving the appearance of illumination and thus causing a phantom aspect.
		This type of signal does use a (parabolic) reflector and thus lower power lamps and a less directional lens system are used since there is a far greater percentage of the light available to be directed down the tracks towards the driver of the oncoming train.
		Electrically operated railway signals in the UK The railway signalling system used across the majority of the UK railway network uses colour lights to tell the driver the status of the section of track ahead.

	A Risk Based Approach to Determine Ultrasonic Inspection Frequencies in Railway Applications
		In railway applications the rails are regulary inspected by means of ultrasonic techniques to detect cracks before these develop to rail breakage's.
		It's obvious that the age of the rail, traffic load, and quality of the material have a significant influence on the initiation of cracks, the velocity of crack propagation, and consequentially the length of the P F interval.

		In the late 18th century, iron rails began to be employed: British civil engineer William Jessop designed edge rails to be used with flanged wheels for use on a scheme in Loughborough, Leicestershire (in 1789 and subsequently opened an iron-works to produce more rails).
		The first successful steam operated railway was the Stockton and Darlington Railway in northern England in the 1820s.
		In Britain the term railway is often used to refer 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.

	Railway Technology - Norway Tilt Trains operated by Norwegian State Railways
		The country's state-owned railway operator, NSB, has made huge investments in new rolling stock and upgrading the system's infrastructure, as the country aims to ensure that rail plays a growing role in meeting the country's transport needs for the next century.
		The Government decided that the best way to advance the cause of rail travel in the country would be to reorganise passenger operations under three divisions, one each for short-, medium- and long-distance travel.
		Norway's national rail infrastructure authority, Jernbaneverket, is investing Norway Kroner 1.6 billion to upgrade the three principal long-distance corridors, after funding approval for the Norwegian Railway Plan covering 1998-2007 was given by the country's parliament.

		The Norwegian national railways, NSB and CargoNet, are now also planning to invest in Funkwerk technology for the modernisation of its communication systems.
		“The decisive factor for the Norwegians here was the fact that the CAB radios from Funkwerk had already been in use successfully and without a problem for a number of years in highly variable conditions across the various routes in Europe,” explains Harald Steglich, the Funkwerk director responsible for the Traffic and Control Communication segment.
		A further convincing aspect that had tipped the scales in favour of Funkwerk was said to be the competence of the company to install equipment quickly and on schedule, proven already in various projects.
