	International Railway Journal: Platform screen doors gain in popularity: more and more metros are installing platform ...
		Platforms fitted with full-height platform screen doors can be climate controlled which is especially beneficial in hot and humid climates.
		Platform screen doors, typically with a glass and stainless steel or aluminium finish, are individually designed rather than being standard items which the station design has to accommodate.
		Platform edge doors must be designed to withstand the pressure and vacuum forces of the airflow on the platform.

	Jamie Monson: Freedom Railway
		The railway was plagued early on by frequent landslides and washouts, especially during the severe rainy season of 1979.
		The railway also makes it possible for family members to return to their homes of origin when they are needed during an illness or for a funeral, wedding, or other occasion.
		Thus while the TAZARA railway may look like a development success story in the short term, it is unclear what the longer-term prospects may be in terms of sustainability, either for the services of the railway or for the natural environment.

	At New Delhi Rly Station, No. 12 is platform of change
		Instead, they are to be carefully put into the specially designed fibreglass dustbins of Platform No 12, which are a world apart from their overflowing country-cousins made of tin and painted a bilious yellow, that surface elsewhere.
		Babies on Platform No 12, when they put in a rare appearance, gurgle happily in their ever-dry Pampers, and the accompanying luggage is sleek and minimalist.
		If one were somehow to be spared the sight of the other platforms, with its plastic bag litter and curlicues of shit on the tracks, the garbage piles and the inexplicable patches of dirty water everywhere, one could even imagine that the Indian Railways is indeed steaming into the future.

	meass on the railway platform (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		One day the announcer said that “Platform no. 2 ki gadi radd kar di gai hai” actually a slow local would start from this platform, so I rushed to Pt.no.6 after crossing a huge bridge and then running hard through the crowd.
		I want to request the railways authorities not to cancell the trains at that short notice and please maintain the departure of LOcal trains as per schadule.
		Another thing I want to suggest to the railway authorities to do something to the beggers and the hawkers travelling in the train and doing their business during the peak hours.

	Godhra questions
		Newspapers in Uttar Pradesh had reported ugly clashes on railway platforms, harassment of Muslim passengers on the train, and some retaliatory stoning of railway coaches carrying kar sevaks.
		One witness present on the platform, 14-year-old Sophiya Sheikh, told investigators that some of the men attempted to pull her into the train.
		This means that individuals on the railway platform would have had just over three minutes to inform the residents of Singal Fadia about the incident, and then to assemble a mob armed with stones, crowbars and petrol.

	A Customer Information System - The Thinking Series - Information & Design's Usability Articles & Presentations
		The device, situated on a railway platform, consists of two buttons and a speaker, mounted on an instructional panel.
		While travelers who are familiar with the railway station may know which platform to use, visitors or tourists must go to each platform in turn, and query each machine in turn, in order to find out when and where to catch the appropriate train.
		Where platforms are adjacent, the device gives information about trains from both platforms, even though in many cases the destinations are different; hence much of the information is typically irrelevant to the user.

		The lefternmost figure has a globe and machinery (to do with railways?), and one of the semidraped figures on the right is accompanied by a horse and elephant, presumably indicative of the enticements of travelling to Africa starting with Great Western Railways.
		Inside, the structure of the arched interior of the station is a most impressive example of Victorian engineering - being built so soon after the Great Exhibition of 1851, it was one of the earliest buildings to take advantage of this new style of architecture, and the whole edifice has a greenhouse feel to it.
		Half way down platform 1 is a combined World Wars 1 and 2 Memorial with a large, solid-looking figure of a cloaked soldier in full battle gear.

	The World Market for Parts of Self-Propelled Works Trucks without Lifting or Handling Equipment and Parts of Railway ...
		I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for parts of self-propelled works trucks without lifting or handling equipment and parts of railway station platform tractors for those countries serving the world market via exports or supplying from various countries via imports.
		The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for each region, is based on a model which aggregates across country markets and projects these to the current year.
		Combined, Chapters 3 and 4 present the complete picture for imports and exports of parts of self-propelled works trucks without lifting or handling equipment and parts of railway station platform tractors to and from all major countries in the world.

		Looked at from behind the barbed wire that encircles the quarantine camp, these brick chimneys form a strange testimony to life and destruction.
		That night, I lay awake for some seeing how people arrive at the railway platform and are immediately walked to the gaschambers.

		A woman stares straight ahead at the edge of the railway platform in close-up as a train arrives at her station.
		The optical effects rendered upon this moment render the railway station and the woman, together, an “any-space-whatever” (32), suspending their individuation to the creation of affect, performing the quality of the railway, rather than its function (33).

		Although a final strategy for the facility has yet to be made, the railway hopes to be granted use of at least part of the facility, which will greatly enhance the scope of the heritage centre, and provide a link to the national railway network.
