Gare de Saint-Exupéry TGV (formerly Gare de Satolas) is a railway station near Lyon, France, directly attached to Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport. The station was an addition to the airport built to serve TGV trains on the LGV Rhône-Alpes, part of the main line running from Paris to Marseille. It is situated about 20 km east of Lyon city centre.

Saint-Exupéry station was designed by Santiago Calatrava, cost 750 million Francs and opened on 3 July 1994, at the same as the high speed line to Saint-Marcel-lès-Valence. The building is mostly a combination of concrete and steel.
Interior of the station

The station has six tracks laid in a cutting. The two central tracks are isolated to permit trains to traverse the station at full speed (300 km/h). Both sets of two tracks have platforms 500 m long. To the west, a small piece of land has been put aside for future expansion. Above the tracks, a 300 m long passenger concourse gives easy access to the platforms and is equipped with several travelators.

The railway station is linked to Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport by a footbridge equipped with a travelator. This airport is historically the first to be served by a high speed station. Unfortunately, this proximity to the airport has not helped the station and it sees little use as passengers mainly use Lyon-Perrache and Lyon Part-Dieu.

Lack of interconnexion with Lyon's urban transport network is frequently cited for the station's low usage. The arrival of the Rhônexpress express tram in 2010 might help this situation.]]>

The current Beijing South Railway Station (Chinese: pinyin: Běijīng Nán Zhàn) is a new and massive railway station on the south side of Beijing that opened on August 1, 2008. The new station replaced the old Beijing South Station, also known as the Yongdingmen Railway Station before 1988, which stood 500 m away and operated from 1897 to 2006. The new Beijing South Station, reportedly the largest in Asia, joins the Beijing Railway Station and the Beijing West Railway Station as the third major passenger rail hub in the Chinese capital. It will serve as the terminus for high-speed trains to the city, including the Beijing–Tianjin Intercity Rail, which can reach speeds above 350 km/h.]]>

Watts Station is a train station built in 1904 in Watts, Los Angeles, California. It was one of the first buildings in Watts and, for many years, it was a major stop for the Pacific Electric Railway's "Red Car" service between Los Angeles and Long Beach. It was the only structure that remained intact when stores along 103rd Street in Watts were burned in the 1965 Watts Riots. Remaining untouched in the middle of the stretch of street that came to be known as "Charcoal Alley," the station became a symbol of continuity, hope and renewal for the Watts community. It has since been declared a Historic-Cultural Monument and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.]]>

Leinster Gardens is a street in Bayswater, London. It has two false façades at numbers 23 & 24, constructed at the time of the original steam engine-hauled underground railway that had a short section exposed to the surface.

Locomotives were fitted with condensers to reduce fumes, but "venting off" was still needed in open-air sections to relieve the condensers and keep the tunnels free from smoke.[1] In this upmarket area, the railway company hid this unsightly practice from residents. The false façade also maintained a continuous frontage along a prestigious terrace.

The façade is 5 feet (1.5 m) thick with 18 blackened windows. The doors have no letter boxes.

In the 1930s, a hoax was played on guests who were sold 10 Guinea tickets to a charity ball at Leinster Gardens, only to turn up in evening dress to discover the address was fake. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leinster_Gardens]]>

The Central Railroad of New Jersey, more commonly known as the Jersey Central Lines or CNJ, was a regional railroad with origins in the 1830s, lasting until 1976 when it was absorbed into Conrail with the other bankrupt railroads of the Northeastern United States. Its main line ran from a terminal at Jersey City west through New Jersey to Phillipsburg and across the Delaware River to Easton and Scranton in Pennsylvania. Branches also stretched into southern New Jersey to Delaware Bay.

The CNJ was acquired by the Philadelphia and Reading Railway in 1883. Though that was later canceled, the Reading continued to exert a major influence over the CNJ, and used it for its New York City-area terminal.

Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey includes the site of the CNJ's terminal.

Communipaw Terminal, officially known as the Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal, was the waterfront terminal on the Hudson River for the Central Railroad of New Jersey's commuter and passenger service in Jersey City, New Jersey. It originally opened in 1864, was relocated in 1889, and operated until April 30, 1967 when the Aldene Plan was implemented due to the CNJ's bankruptcy.

Today, the terminal remains as part of Liberty State Park, and serves as the departure point for ferries to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.]]>

Dm and Dm3 is a series of locomotives used by Statens Järnvägar (SJ) and later Malmtafik i Kiruna (MTAS) for pulling iron ore trains on Malmbanan in Sweden and Ofotbanen in Norway. A total of 39 double-locomotives (Dm) were delivered between 1953 and 1971, built by ASEA. A further 19 center locomotives (Dm3) were later delivered. Norges Statsbaner of Norway also operated 12 similar locomotives, designated NSB El 12. The Dm is a slower, freight-optimized version of the Da-locomotive.

IORE engine refers to the electric railway locomotives owned by the Swedish mining company LKAB, used for transporting iron ore from the mines in Kiruna to the shipping stations in Narvik and Luleå. IORE is an acronym of "iron ore", as well as an intentional close-match of the name carried by the fictional donkey Eeyore (Swedish: Ior). The 18 engines were produced by Bombardier Transportation, in Kassel, Germany between 2000 and 2004. They operate in pairs pulling up to 8600 metric tons on a relatively mountainous railway at a maximum speed of 60 km/h with loaded trains. The locomotive is equipped with a passenger train brake system, which allows the locomotive without train to be dispatched with 80 km/h to new work orders.

With 700 kN they are reported to be the strongest cargo locomotives in the world. Usually the locomotives run in pairs, seldom they can be found operating as a single unit.

[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]

@ 2008-05-20 21:45:01
The Fréjus Rail Tunnel (also called Mont Cenis Tunnel) is a railroad tunnel of 13.7 km (8.5 miles) length in the European Alps, carrying the Fréjus railway through Mount Cenis and connecting Modane, France and Bardonecchia, Italy. It passes beneath the Pointe du Fréjus (2932 m) and the Col de Fréjus (2542 m).

The initial gallery was 12.8 kilometers long, twice as much as the previously longest tunnel. Drilling started in August 1857 from Bardonecchia and in December 1857 from Modane. On 26 December 1870, French and Italian workers shook hands as both teams met halfway: the galleries were perfectly aligned to about 40 cm horizontally and 60 cm vertically. The tunnel opened for traffic on 17 September 1871, thus making it the oldest of the large tunnels through the Alps. The gallery was extended to its present length in 1881 with a new reinforced entrance on the French side.

The construction, directed by Germain Sommeiller, was scheduled to take 25 years, but was completed in only 14 years thanks to technical innovations such as pneumatic drilling machines and electrical ignition of explosive charges. In the final construction years, the use of recently-invented dynamite further accelerated the tunnel's completion. The next two Alpine tunnels were built with similar techniques: the Gotthard Rail Tunnel opened in 1882 and the Simplon Tunnel in 1906.

From 1868 to 1871, there was already a railroad line in operation, going over the pass; it was primarily used to transport English mail to India.

Today the Fréjus tunnel remains an important link in the connection between Rome and Paris, via Turin and Chambéry. Following the development of car and truck transportation, the Fréjus Road Tunnel was built along the same path from 1974 to 1980. A future high-speed rail tunnel to improve transit capacity between France and Italy is being planned as part of the Lyon Turin Ferroviaire initiative.]]>

Shildon Locomotion Museum is a railway museum in Shildon, County Durham, England.
It is home to 60 locomotives from the National Collection, including a replica of Timothy Hackworth's Sans Pareil. The original engine was built to compete in the Rainhill Trials. These trials were to decide which engine was used to operate the intercity passenger railway between Liverpool and Manchester. After 175 years of absence from the town, residents were delighted at her return. Sans Pareil now sits proudly at the entrance of Locomotion. It is the first engine visitors see.
The main building is home to the majority of the collection and includes the sole examples of the prototype APT-E and Deltic units. The museum has a wind turbine which also provides power to the National Grid and an on-site biodiesel bus for transporting visitors around the site without harming the environment.

In total Leicester had four railways stations. In addition to the current Leicester station three other railway stations existed. The original station at West Bridge closed to passengers in 1928.Leicester Belgrave Road (on the Great Northern Railway)closed to passengers in 1962 and Leicester Central (on the Great Central Railway) closed in May 1969. Up until this time the current Leicester station was known as Leicester London Road. Today the heritage Great Central Steam Railway currently operates a station called Leicester North at its southern terminus in the suburb of Belgrave

Designed by renowned architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood, the beautiful Union Pacific passenger station was reported to be "one of the finest passenger stations on the line" when it opened January 27, 1927. With its 34-foot ceiling and ornate glazed terra cotta ornamentation, the elegant building is perhaps the finest representation of classic railroad architecture in Kansas.

The last passenger train left the station May 2, 1971. The building was later remodeled for railroad offices, abandoned in 1988, and damaged by fire in 1992. At that point, Railroad Heritage, Inc. secured a lease from the Union Pacific Railroad to prevent the building's demolition. A Use and Feasibility Study indicated that a museum celebrating railroad heritage was the most desirable use for the station, and a Capital Campaign Assessment demonstrated that funds could be raised to that end. On July 2, 1998, the Union Pacific Corporation formally donated the station to Topeka Railroad Days, Inc. The Great Overland Station Project Team was established to direct efforts to preserve the station and transform it into a railroad heritage museum. In June 2004, The Great Overland Station opened its doors again as a community landmark.]]>

Opened in 1856, Camden Station served as one of the passenger terminus for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the county’s first commercial railroad, in Baltimore.

The first blood of the Civil War was shed outside the station’s northern portals on Pratt Street. Union troops, on foot from the President Street station to Camden Station, clashed with angry southern sympathizers, leading to the first Civil War battle. Abraham Lincoln also passed through the building on several occasions, once on his way to Gettysburg.

In 1971, the B&O vacated what by then was America’s oldest big city train terminal in continuous use, and Camden Station was sold to the Maryland Stadium Authority, which had plans to integrate the station house along with the adjacent warehouse into the new stadium complex.

The Stadium Authority would refurbished the exterior, while the interior was gutted, for the opening of Oriole Park at Camden Yards in 1992. However the building would sit unused for more then a decade after Camden Yards until 2005 when, following a renovation, the station would reopen as a sports museum, Sports Legends at Camden Yards.]]>

Fairplex Model Railroad
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: kjfitz
@ 2007-07-06 09:37:14
The railroad began in 1924 by the founder Mr. Hennan Howard and his brother who were members of the Pomona Model Yacht Club. A single Pacific Electric Railway 1200 interurban model ran around the Army Corps of Engineers' Puddingstone Reservoir Exhibit during that year's Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona. The train diorama was to promote the dam, which had just been built. The exhibit later was moved to a tent, and in 1935 to its outdoor location. The railroad was sold in 1958 to Mr. & Mrs. Herman Templin. After the death of Mr. Templin, just before the fair opened in 1968, Mrs. Templin, with the help of her daughter Suzanne and Mr. John Huie, kept the railroad running. In 1970, the Los Angeles County Fair took ownership of the railroad, and Mr. John Huie, under an agreement with fair management, kept the railroad maintained and running through 1996.

The exhibit ran every year for the Los Angeles County Fair except during World War II. The War Era brought a halt to the Fair for six years when the grounds were taken over by the U.S. Army. The first year the fair and the Outdoor Miniature Railroad resumed operations after WW II was in 1948.]]>

Box Tunnel - east portal
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: kjfitz
@ 2007-06-20 10:40:04
Box Tunnel is a railway tunnel in western England, between Bath and Chippenham, dug through the Box Hill. It was built for the original route of the Great Western Railway under the direction of the GWR's engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

The tunnel is 2,939m (1 mile 1452 yards) in length, straight, and descends a 1 in 100 gradient from the east. Construction started in 1836, and the tunnel opened in 1841. The lives of about 10 navvies (railway construction workers) were lost during construction. At the time of opening it was the longest railway tunnel in the world, though the Standedge and several other canal tunnels were longer. The dramatic western portal, near Box, is designed in the classical style, but the eastern portal, at Corsham, has a plain brick face. When the two ends of the tunnel were joined underground there was found to be less than 5 cm (2 in) error in their alignment.]]>

The Eisenbahnmuseum Bochum-Dahlhausen is a railway museum founded by the German DGEG (German society of railway history) in 1977. It is located in the German state of Nordrhein-Westfalen in the south of the city of Bochum in a locomotive shed that was built in the years 1916 to 1918 and ceased operation in 1969. Then DGEG took over the whole area of 46,000 square meters and built up the biggest railway museum in Germany. In the middle of the museum, there is an engine shed with fourteen tracks. A preserved turntable, coaling, watering, and sanding facilities are still in operation. This museum is integrated into the Route der Industriekultur a route of monuments from the history of the industry.]]>

The Gare de Bercy is a railway station and terminus in Paris, France, run by the SNCF. It specialises in “auto-trains”, which transport traveller's vehicles, such as cars, motorbikes, scooters and so on, and to another such station. After an important restoration, it has become, since July 2002, the seventh largest Parisian station, by accommodating the four daily sleeper trains between Paris and Italy.

The station was previously designed for sleeper trains, as it allowed passengers to travel with their car in the same train. This is not generally possible at any of the other Parisian terminal stations, which were never adapted to this purpose.]]>
