Railway World 1983 October
CONTENTS
510 The 1889 Act and the interlocking of points and signalsIt took a major accident in the shape of Armagh to force overdue changes in safety regulations on Britain's railways, as Mike Christensen explains. In something like six weeks during the summer of 1889, Parliament swiftly passed effective legislation relating to public safety on railways, and with lasting effect.
514 The Pullman restaurant cars of the LNER in ScotlandOther British Pullman car services have received good coverage in railway publications of recent years. George Behrend draws attention to 'half-forgotten services' with an interesting origin.
516 The LB&SCR and the Paris International Exhibition of 1878We tend to think of the Victorians as competent, but several occurrences in this account of an interesting episode reflect little credit on those involved. But M. J. Cruttenden shows that Stroudley and his team richly deserved the Gold Medal awarded to 0-6-OT No 40 Brighton.
520 Farewell to the 4-SUBsA short photographic tribute to a familiar part of the Southern scene from early postwar years. The last unit was due to be withdrawn from public service in early October.
