		The principal terminus of the railway is the Barao de Maua Station at Rio de Janeiro, which was completed in 1926, having been built to replace an older station which traffic had outgrown.
		The oldest of the lines incorporated in the Leopoldina Railways is that from Maua, on the Bay of Rio de Janeiro, to the foot of the precipitous Petropolis Serra, a distance of ten miles.
		Detached as it is from the rest of the railways of Brazil, and operating in the heart of a wild country, this line is an outstanding example of railway enterprise.

	The Hindu : Waiting for the TRAIN of Hope
		Tracing the history of this terminus can be frustrating, for the exact date of its inception is not known due to non-availability of records.
		An important landmark in the history of this terminus was in 1961 when the first diesel train was flagged of by the then Railway Minister, when many other parts of India still ran on steam.
		But the Railways and the Cochin Port Trust are considering preserving it as a heritage centre of Kochi as it has a lot of vintage value.

	Burntisland, Fife - Forth Place
		It relates Burntisland's history as a major railway centre, as a ferry terminal and as a port - from the first arrival of the railway to the present day.
		The old ticket or booking-office is now utilised as a dwelling-place for railway servants, and, of course, the span of the station roof has gone the way of most earthly things.
		The prospect of the arrival of the railway provided the opportunity for the building to be extended and converted into the Forth Hotel around 1845-47, with the Church of Scotland providing a new manse in Cromwell Road (now Grayforth House nursing home).

		The railway was in the south coast seaside town of Brighton, in the county of Sussex.
		This was a railway about 0.402 km (¼ mile) running along the sea shore from the old Chain Pier (soon afterwards destroyed in a great storm) westwards to a second terminus at a place then known as Swimming Arch.
		The railway continued largely unchanged until 1933, when it was cut back by 0.201 km (0.0125 mile) at its Western extremity, from Bathing Arch to the Aquarium, its current Western Terminus (plans have been submitted, several times over the last 25 years, to restore the Aquarium-Bathing Arch section).

	Railway Terminus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The first step in recreating the Railway Terminus was to measure the original drawings and redraw them on the computer, so each new drawing was initially an exact replica of the supplied prints.
		As the Railway Terminus was the first model to be built many issues resolved here would go on to influence the construction process of the other models.
		Whilst Mackintosh’s later works are well known for their stylised white stucco façades the Railway Terminus was much earlier in his career, before he had truly developed the style for which he is famed, and clearly does not fit within this aesthetic.

	Walter Shanly's Report on the Bytown and Prescott Railway
		Two points present themselves for this terminus - the one at or near the Canal Basin— the other near the upper end of the Town, fronting directly on the Ottawa River, at the foot of the precipitous cliffs on the rear of Wellington Street.
		Secondly,—because by locating the terminus at the Basin you would render yourselves dependent for your connection with the Ottawa upon a work not under your own control, and with interests to a certain extent adverse to yours.
		In such a case as the first mentioned the difference in cost of construction might be such as to warrant, the sacrifice of a very eligible Terminal position to one of inferior merit,—or the reverse might be the case, and the most desirable location adopted, regardless of the cost of reaching it.

	[IRFCA] Subcontinental railway news from Rinbad
		According to the IRFCA website on railways of the Indian subcontinent (http://www.geocities.com/irfca_faq/faq-inter.html), the British laid a 32km stretch of metre-gauge track from what is now Pakistan into Afghanistan along the Kabul valley, turning westwards towards the Loi Shilman valley, but this military line was dismantled in 1909.
		The operating agreement was that each railway would in turn provide the locomotive and a rake of carriages for the weekly international train for a period of six months, but in practice Indian Railways have not done so since about 1995.
		Indian Railways do not provide any onward connections by bus, only a refund for the part of the journey not completed, so it was up to passengers to make their own way.
