THE NEW VICTORIA STATION AT NOTTINGHAM.
In the sixty-seventh volume of ENGINEERING we described and illustrated many of the important works on the Great Central Rail way extension to London … we now return to the subject, principally to deal with the splendid joint station at Nottingham, the convenience of which has now been established by its use for some time by the two owning companies - the Great Central and the Great Northern.
This station is certainly the most important piece..
PASSENGER LOCOMOTIVE FOR THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.
CONSTRUCTED AT THE WORKS OF THE COMPANY, CREWE, FROM THE DESIGNS OF MR. F. W. WEBB, LOCOMOTIVE SUPERINTENDENT.
(Precursor Class 1875)
It will be remembered by many of our readers that when Mr. Robinson’s paper on “Modern Locomotives” was read before the Institution of Civil Engineers during the session of 1873-4, one of the chief points upon which the discussion turned was the difference between the types of ..
THE WIDENING OF THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY (1868)
The widening of the Metropolitan Railway between King’s-cross and Farringdon-street stations, with the deviations of the branches to the Great Northern Railway, has been practically completed, and on the 15th of January was formally inspected by Captain Tyler on behalf of the Board of Trade.
A constantly increasing traffic has rendered this extension necessary, and the new lines are intended for the service of the Great Western, Great Northe..
PULLMAN CARS (1875)
In the year 1859 Mr. Pullman constructed the first of the cars which have since made the name of Pullman world-famed, and this car was placed in service on the Chicago and Alton Railway, a line extending from Chicago to St. Louis, some 280 miles in length.
Previous to this time sleeping cars had been in use, to a limited extent, upon several American railways, but they were for the most part crude in their arrangements, and ill adapted for meeting the requirements of fatigui..
Midland Railway 0-4-4 Tank Engine (1876)
We give this week a two-page engraving, together with other views on the present and opposite pages, of one of a class of powerful tank locomotives constructed from the designs of Mr. Samuel W. Johnson, for working heavy local passenger traffic on the Midland Railway. The engine now illustrated may be considered to be a development of the type introduced by Mr. Johnson on the Great Eastern Railway, while he was the locomotive superintendent of that line - a type w..
MIDLAND RAILWAY DOUBLE-BOGIE CARRIAGES (1876).
It is now about two years since the Midland Railway Company commenced running Pullman cars on their line, the first regular service of these cars having been established, as many of our readers will remember, between London and Bradford. The result of the working of these cars was so satisfactory to the company that they soon largely extended their use of double-bogie passenger stock; and when about fourteen months ago {vide page 203 of our nineteenth volume..
NEW FIRST AND THIRD CLASS DINING CARRIAGES ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY (1893)
The Midland Railway Company, which was the first to allow third-class passengers to travel by all trains, is just about to make further provision for their convenience and comfort.
Commencing on Monday, July 3rd, the Midland Company, in conjunction with the Glasgow and South Western Company, will place on the Scotch service additional afternoon expresses, which will run between London (St. Pancras) and Glasgow (St. Enoch), start..
THE MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY'S LOCOMOTIVE WORKS AT DERBY. (1895)
In presenting to our readers a description of the Midland Railway Works, we feel sure that no apology will be required if we first briefly trace the history and development of this important line. Although nominally dating from May 10th, 1841, the Midland Railway system really may claim to have originated some twelve years prior to this date, when a short line sixteen miles long was constructed under the supervision of Robert Stephenson,..
"RAILWAY SLEEPING CARRIAGE"
The practice of attaching sleeping cars to long journey trains has prevailed for many years in America, and there are but few who travel frequently over our long northern routes who do not devoutly wish that a similar accommodation were afforded in England. It has indeed been a long recognised necessity, and it is satisfactory to find that some step has recently been taken towards supplying the want. The North British Railway Company have taken the initiative i..
"WE give this week a two-page illustration together, with other views on the present and opposite pages, of a. fine swing bridge, recently completed, and which carries what is now the main line of' the North-Eastern Railway, over the River Ouse, at a distance of about three miles from York, a point where the river is navigable for small craft.
The bridge consists of three openings, namely, one fixed span of 107ft. over all, and a double swing span of 176ft over all, leaving a clear openi..
THREE CYLINDER COMPOUND LOCOMOTIVE FOR THE NORTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.
“We illustrate this week by our two-page engraving, and further illustrations on pages 11, 14, and 15, a type of compound express passenger locomotive introduced on to the North-Eastern Railway, a couple of years ago, by Mr. Wilson Worsdell, the locomotive superintendent of the line.
The details of the engine include a number of special features patented by Mr. W. M. Smith, of 16, Otterburn terrace, Jesmond, Newcastle-on-Tyne.

TANK LOCOMOTIVE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY. 1881
We give this week on page 379 a side elevation of a powerful six-coupled tank engine, built the year before last by Mr. J. C. Park, the locomotive superintendent of the North-London Railway, for goods service on that line.
As will be seen from our engraving, the engine is of the outside-cylinder type.
In regular daily work the engine hauls the "Poplar Goods" train made up as follows:
2 brake vans.......
"PASSENGER LOCOMOTIVE FOR THE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY."
On our two-page plate, and on page. 35, we give this week engravings showing the general arrangement of one of a class of outside cylinder side-tank locomotives designed by Mr. J . C. Park, M.I.C.E. , for the North London line, and constructed at the company's works, Bow Road, London, E. 1.
In many of its details this engine resembles the tank goods locomotive for the same line ... but being intended for passenger traff..
TANK LOCOMOTIVE FOR THE WOTTON TRAMWAY. (1879)
CONSTRUCTED BY MR. W. G. BAGNALL, ENGINEER STAFFORD.
We give, above, engravings of a four-wheeled tank locomotive constructed by Mr. W. G. Bagnall, of the Castle Engine Works, Stafford, the leading feature in this engine being the arrangement of the cylinders and working gear. The engine is of a type of which several have been constructed by Mr. Bagnall, with cylinders of from 4 in. in diameter upwards, the particular locomotive illust..
