Part 1

An article by Seymour Glendenning in the July 1906 issue of The Railway Magazine focused on the newly opened Burton & Ashby Light Railway.

The light railway was a 3ft 6in gauge electric tram line supplied with electricity from a diesel generator plant near Swadlincote. The power plant sat alongside the tram depot there.

This is the first of two articles about the line: ......

LNWR 'Reversible' Steam Trains

In the Railway Magazine, August 1922, an unattributed article about these LNWR units was carried. From 6th February 1922 a 'reversible' or 'push-and-pull' train was in use for working locally between Manchester (Victoria) and Atherton.

Courtesy of Mr. Ashton Davies, MBE, General Superintendent (Northern Division) of the LNWR, The Railway Magazine was able to illustrate and describe the equipment of the train employment:

June 1922: the Silver Jubilee of The Railway Magazine

The June 1922 issue of The Railway Magazine celebrated its Silver Jubilee with a number of articles making comparisons between the railway scene in 1897 and that of 1922 or thereabouts.

In celebrating its Silver Jubilee, The Railway Magazine was also offering, in its June 1922 edition, its 300th number.

Reading through the various celebratory articles, a common theme encountered was comparisons made between 1897 and 1922.

East Indian Railways - Some branches and the Kalka to Simla Narrow Gauge Line.

A further article about the East Indian Railway appeared in the July 1906 edition of The Railway Magazine - written again by G. Huddleston, CIE

Huddleston looks at a number of different sections of the network and after looking at what he has to say about each we will endeavor to follow those railway routes as they appear in the 21st century. We will go into quite a bit of detail on the journey along the Kalka to Shimla narrow-gauge line. The featured image at the head of this post was taken at Taradevi Railway Station on the Kalka to Shimla line, (c) GNU Free Documentation License Version 1.2.

Genoa Railways and Tramways again...

The Principe–Granarolo rack railway (Ferrovia Principe-Granarolo) is a rack railway that connects Via del Lagaccio, near the Genoa Piazza Principe railway station, to the Granarolo hills. The line is sometimes erroneously described as a funicular. The line is managed by AMT Genova, which manages the city's public transport.

Genova's Railways and Tramways again. ...

Genova (Genoa) - A Telfer

For a very short time Genoa had a Telfer.

'Telfer' or 'Telfere elettrico', was a monorail railway line built in Genoa in 1914, the first of its kind built in Italy. The name was derived from the English term 'telpher'.

This article highlights the short-lived experimental line. ....

The Callander and Oban Railway

The Callander and Oban Railway is a historic Scottish railway, part of which is abandoned and part still in use.

In July 1923, The Railway Magazine carried an article about the Callander & Oban Railway (C&O) written by G.F. Gairns.

Gairns commented that the C&O constituted the third of the three great mountain lines: the Perth-Inverness line of the Highland Railway; the West Highland Line of the North British Railway; and the Callander & Oban Railway (including the Ballachulish Extension).
