	Road, Rail and Water - transport in Offaly - Offaly History, Archaeology, Offaly Towns, Heritage, Research, King's ...
		The advent of rail travel involved the laying of miles of tracks, as two rival companies sought to capture the custom on the people of the area.
		Within a year the rail company rejected the offer as it was felt that the cost of laying the line along the banks of the canal would have been inordinately expensive.
		This was only barely sustainable in the hey-day of rail transport, but on the coming of independence it was clear that it was not a situation which could be allowed to persist indefinitely.

	Least Water Rail
		It stands labelled 'Little Rail, Rallus minutus, Turton's Linn;' but the authenticity of the specimen has always been disputed by BONAPARTE, and others, because none else had been found; and the author just named expressed a belief that it was an immature specimen of Rallus (Crex) Porzana of Europe.
		I then described one that I caught last summer, which was unlike the Rail in the fall season, and I presumed that all in the wet ground were the same, but this day my men mowing around the pond started up two of the usual kind.
		While yet covered with down, the young is fl all over; the bill bright yellow, with the point of the upper mandible, and a band across the middle of the lower, fl; the feet dull yellowish-green, the claws dusky.

		and practices of a water carrier in respect of water transportation from those in effect by a rail carrier with respect to rail transportation shall not be deemed to constitute unjust discrimination...
		And 307(d) authorizing the Commission to fix differentials as between through water-rail and through all-rail rates, does not authorize the Commission to neutralize the effective prohibitions of the other provisions which were strengthened in 1940 expressly to prevent a discrimination against water carriers.

		“It is so much like the human figure, there is something alive about it.” This image of a boat skimming across water enlivened by the play of wind and light seems wonderfully immediate, but most of Eakins’s paintings were the result of careful measurements, precise calculations, and many preparatory studies.

		Here, he depicts two friends setting off to hunt for rail (a kind of bird) in the marshlands along the Delaware River, near Philadelphia.

	Brontë Sources, Texts, and Criticism
		The Water Rail is a shy and solitary bird.
		It runs, occasionally flirting up its tail, through its tracts, with the same swiftness as the Land Rail runs through the meadoows and corn fields, shews as great an aversion to taking flight as that bird, and has more of the means in its power of disappointing the sportsman.
		It generally exhausts his patience, and distracts and misleads his dog, by the length of time to which it can protract its taking wing; and it seldom rises until it has crosseed every pool, and run through every avenue within the circuit of its retreats.
