	Report by the Health and Safety Executive's Railway Inspectorate into the train accident at Winsford South Junction ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
		Train 1S47 was operated by Virgin Trains and comprised Class 87 locomotive 87027 and a rake of eight Mk III coaches and a driving van trailer.
		The train describer display at Winsford signal box was subsequently examined, and it showed the Virgin and First North Western trains as held at signals WD12 and 13 respectively, suggesting both trains must have passed a signal at red immediately prior to the collision.
		All the initial evidence supported a conclusion that the primary cause of the collision was the passing of signal WD12 whilst at red (danger) by FNW train 5H80, and this is consistent with the AWS "sunflower" status in the driving cabs of the respective trains and the train describer display in Winsford Signal Box.

	icWales - Experts rail at train breakdowns
		TRAINS operating in South Wales have the worst record for breakdowns of all the trains in Britain, according to a rail-industry magazine.
		The second worst trains were the Class 142 Pacer trains used in the Valleys, with an average of 2,896 miles between faults in 2003.
		Asked yesterday why the trains were so prone to failure, Mr Ford said it was mainly down to their maintenance, although the frequent station stops in the Valleys and Cardiff suburbs could make door mechanisms more likely to fail.

	The U.S. Trotting Association On-Line!
		The name "Standardbred" originated because the early trotters (pacers would not come into the picture until much later) were required to reach a certain standard for the mile distance in order to be registered as part of the new breed.
		Pacers, on the other hand, move the legs on one side of their body in tandem: left front and rear, and right front and rear.
		This action shows why pacers are often called "side-wheelers." Pacers, which account for about 80 percent of the performers in harness racing and are the faster of the two gaits, are aided in maintaining their gait by plastic loops called hobbles, which keep their legs moving in synchronization.

	- pacer/trotter??
		If you are riding a true pacer, like a typical Stdb., it would be sort of like a trot, but with a lot more sideways, rather than up and down motion.
		I guess if even the true pacer bred Standardbreds paced all the time naturally, there wouldn't be a need for the hobbles used to keep them in the pacing gait.
		As many replies noted, pacers tend to use a variety of gaits, and revert to the one they are most comfortable with when excited or frightened.

		The term 'Railcar' is usually used in reference to a train consisting of a single coach (carriage, car), with a drivers cab at each end.
		A variation of railcar is a railbus, a very lightweight type of railcar designed for use specifically on little-used railway lines, and as the name suggests share many aspects of their construction with a bus, usually having a bus, or modified bus body, and having four wheels on a fixed base, instead of on bogies.
		Railbuses were used commonly in countries such as Germany, and a type of railbus known as a Pacer is still commonly used in the United Kingdom.

		The pacer stood on the sidelines for both the Cane Pace and the Messenger Stake, for his was not made eligible to the firsta nd third Triple Crown legs, and supplements were not allowed.
