[ˈrɑ̝i̯de̞ʋˌʋæli]

(rail transport) track spacing, distance between track centers


ferry van

More than one exporter had complained that ferry vans were in desperately short supply and that the B.R. fleet of 400 new vans (over 150 of which are now in service) would fall far short of immediately foreseeable requirements. [...] The solution to the exporters' demand for more stock of this kind, it was said, lay in the quicker turnround of the Continental ferry wagons bringing imports to this country.

1964 January, “News and Comment: Dr. Beeching and the exporters”, in Modern Railways, page 2:

A grey morning in Tonbridge in 1977 sees No. 33208 rattle through the station with a long train of ferry vans and wagons from the train ferry at Dover.

2018, Andy Gibbs, The Southern Region in the 1970s and 1980s, Amberley Publishing →ISBN https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=oK-IDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA1975&lpg=PA1975&dq=%22ferry+vans%22+%22train+ferry%22&source=bl&ots=ZbB1tER9GV&sig=ACfU3U15HhlmwEplxh66aMkzkE8upxS6Cg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwixvtWXjKToAhXKYcAKHRarCToQ6AEwEXoECAoQAQ#v=onepage&q=%22ferry%20vans%22%20%22train%20ferry%22&f=false:

(rail transport, UK, dated) A railway goods van intended for train ferry traffic to and from continental Europe.


block train

Steel billet traffic in block trains from Briton Ferry to Langley Green has developed from an initial service of one train three times a week [...]. In addition, plans are now being formulated for the operation of numerous block trains formed exclusively of the new 32.4-ton BR brake-fitted hopper wagons, permanently coupled, from South Wales collieries to Swansea Docks, [...].

1964 March, “News and Comment: More block trains in South Wales”, in Modern Railways, page 152:

(rail transport) A freight train that carries only one commodity.


railborne

In 1962, 34m tons of coal were railborne to CEGB power stations in England and Wales.

1964 March, “Power station coal by rail - the BR-CEGB agreement”, in Modern Railways, page 179:

(rail transport) Carried by train, transported by rail.


triple valve

By 1873, the triple valve had been developed satisfactorily in a form which it retained for many years, and by it the automatic character of the brake was ensured. The valve got its name from its triple function of applying the brakes, releasing them, and re-charging the auxiliary reservoirs.

1946 November and December, “George Westinghouse, 1846-1914”, in Railway Magazine, pages 374–375:

The basic equipment on each vehicle consists of the auxiliary reservoir, the triple valve and the brake cylinders. When the train pipe pressure is reduced, the triple valve spills air out of the auxiliary reservoir until its pressure becomes equal to that of the train pipe; this air is passed into the brake cylinders.

1964 March, “Train braking - the next steps”, in Modern Railways, page 186:

(rail transport) In railway air braking systems, a valve that performs three functions.

saddle tank

In 1863 the Furness Railway purchased its last batch of 0-4-0 tender engines from Sharp Stewart & Co. of Manchester. [...] These locomotives had only a short life with the F.R., for the railway sold them in 1870 to Schneider & Hannay, now the Barrow Haematite Steel Co., and the latter converted them into saddle tanks.

catch points

catch points (plural)
catchpoints (alternative)

Many freights were not fully braked, and catch points were provided on steep gradients to derail runaway wagons. The points cost money to maintain and were a hassle when wrong-line working was needed. With the Settle-Carlisle Line available as an alternative, all catch points were removed over Shap, which meant only fully braked trains could traverse the route.

2020 April 8, David Clough, “How the West Coast wiring war was won”, in Rail, page 63:

(rail transport, UK) A set of points provided to derail rail vehicles out of control on a steep gradient.

mixed-traffic

But it is the joy of running Britain's railways that we are the busiest mixed-traffic railway probably in the world, and the way we've ended up interacting freight and different classes of passenger traffic does mean that it's very hard to give anyone priority - [...]

2020 May 20, Andrew Haines talks to Stefanie Foster, “Repurpose rail for the 2020s”, in Rail, page 32:

(rail transport) Of a railway, one that caters for both passenger and freight traffic.

double-heading

Mr. S. T. Yaxley recalls that the Garratts were first placed in service on the Toton-Brent and Toton-Wellingborough coal trains and empties back, eliminating much of the double-heading which prior to their introduction was so prevalent in Midland freight train operation.

1959 March, “Talking of Trains: The L.M.S. Beyer-Garratts”, in Trains Illustrated, page 122:

There appeared to be no restrictions on single-manning of locomotives in Belgium, but multiple-unit control of two locomotives by one driver has not been adopted; when double-heading is required a driver is put in charge of each locomotive.

1960 February, A. S. Gillitt, “The operation and maintenance of Belgian main line diesels”, in Trains Illustrated, page 88:

[...] Fowler was responsible for a conservative small engine policy at the LMS, previously adopted on the Midland, which led to much double-heading - although the Royal Scot 4-6-0 express passenger locomotive was also introduced on his watch in 1928.

2021 December 29, Stephen Roberts, “Stories and facts behind railway plaques: Evesham (1870)”, in RAIL, number 947, page 59:

block instrument

block instrument (plural block instruments)

The line is signalled with upper quadrant semaphores and Sykes lock and block three-wire two-position block instruments. [...] The Inspecting Officer concludes that both signalmen must share responsibility for the accident by the irregular release of the block instrument, but remarks that the two-position Sykes instruments, although ample for maintaining safety under normal working, do not show clearly the state of the block section ahead.

1960 March, “Talking of Trains: Collision at Slade Green”, in Trains Illustrated, page 133:

(rail transport, UK) An instrument installed in a cabinet, used in block signalling installations.


one engine in steam

There are eight 4-wheel coaches of the open toastrack type, but provided with roofs, and during the holiday season, usually beginning at Whitsuntide, trains are run as required on the one-engine-in-steam principle.

1941 July, “The Isle of Man Railways”, in Railway Magazine, page 315:

A change seems likely on the Axminster-Lyme Regis branch [...]. We hear also that one-engine-in-steam operation will probably be introduced on this line.

1960 March, “Talking of Trains: S.R. branch report”, in Trains Illustrated, page 135:

slab track

en-noun

slab track (countable and uncountable, plural slab tracks)

When the railway is built, Phase 1 and Phase 2A will use slab-track. Rayner says this decision has been driven by the tonnages that 18 trains per hour will produce.

2020 July 1, Chris Rayner tells Richard Clinnick, “High Speed 2 is speeding up...”, in Rail, page 65:

(rail transport) Railway track mounted on a concrete (or asphalt) base, without the use of ballast.


gate box

This 142-year-old tiny ex-LNWR SB [signal box, at Batley] is an amazing survivor, probably owing its longevity to its location alongside a level crossing. Indeed it started life as a gate box with the delightful name of Lady Ann's Crossing.

2020 July 1, David Allen, “Signalling from Leeds along the S&C”, in Rail, page 74:

(rail transport, UK) A signal box that controls a level crossing.


dynamic braking

The traction motors serve as generators when dynamic braking is used, the generated output being dissipated in fan-cooled resistance banks mounted in a removable roof section. The degree of dynamic braking is under the control of the driver.

1960 April, “English Electric diesels for the Sudan Railways”, in Trains Illustrated, page 218:

On the long, continuous downgrades of East Africa dynamic braking is of special value; the traction motors are used as generators and their energy output dissipated in force-ventilated banks of resistors. This facility enables a 700-ton trailing load, for example, to be brought down a 1 in 66 gradient at any selected speed between 14 and 25 m.p.h. without use of the air brakes.

1961 February, “New English Electric diesels for East Africa”, in Trains Illustrated, pages 90–91:

(rail transport) Braking by the use of an electric traction motor as a generator when slowing a vehicle such as an electric or diesel-electric locomotive.


track-circuited

In recent issues two replies have been given to correspondents concerning the function of the diamond-shaped enamelled white plates fixed to signalposts, which are to indicate to enginemen that the section of line is track-circuited, so that action under Rule 55 of the Rule Book is unnecessary.

1943 March and April, “Notes and News: White Diamonds on Signalposts”, in Railway Magazine, page 116:

Some 60 miles of single line (with long and short crossing loops at suitable intervals) will be continuously track-circuited and colour light-signalled under the control of one signalbox at Llandrindod Wells, enabling 18 existing signalboxes to be closed.

1960 April, “Talking of Trains: C.T.C. for Central Wales”, in Trains Illustrated, page 194:

(rail transport) Of a section of railway line, provided with track circuits.

rail-motor

There was a time when the Adams 0-4-4 tanks then working the Exmouth branch were supplemented by steam rail-motors. [...] As built they were under-boilered, but as a result of the experience gained from them fifteen more steam rail-motors had been put into service by 1906.

1960 May, R. C. Riley, “The coastal branches of South-East Devon: Part One”, in Trains Illustrated, page 292:

(rail transport) Alternative form of railmotor.

1960 June, “Talking of trains: Sunday on the G.N. line”, in Trains Illustrated, page 322:

DfT said the £589m that has been released will be used on design and enabling works for TRU. This includes partial electrification, a new through platform at Huddersfield, and around eight miles of extra four-tracking.

2020 August 12, “Network News: Release of £589 million kick-starts Trans-Pennine Route upgrade”, in Rail, page 9:

(rail transport) Provision of four running lines on a stretch of railway track, usually two in each direction.

camping coach

All regions of British Railways are offering camping coach accommodation to holidaymakers this summer. Since the war until this year, camping coaches (24 in number) have been available only on the Southern Region, but a programme of converting 89 vehicles has enabled coaches to be sited in attractive holiday areas in East Anglia, North Wales, the Peak District, the West Country, the South of England, Yorkshire Coast and Dales, and in Scotland.

1952 August, “Notes and News: Camping Coaches on British Railways”, in Railway Magazine, page 565:

At Littleham, a pleasant little station with three camping coaches, the token was exchanged.

1960 June, R. C. Riley, “The coastal branches of South-West Devon: Part Two”, in Trains Illustrated, page 337:

After renovation at Preston Park works, they will replace the 52 wooden-bodied cars still working south of the Thames, one of which dates back as far as 1906; some 20 of the latter will be converted to camping coaches.

1960 November, G. Freeman Allen, “New Pullman Cars for the East Coast Route”, in Trains Illustrated, page 666:

(rail transport, UK, dated) A retired passenger coach converted into accommodation for holidaymakers, and placed in a station siding in an area frequented by holidaymakers.


mixed train

On both the Gothland and the Öland Railway, a spanking railcar provides an alternative to riding in the wayward, steam-driven mixed train, but the latter is the proper conveyance for a real railway lover, even over the flat, limestone plains which form much of the Baltic island scenery.

1939 July, “Overseas Railways: Baltic Island Railways”, in Railway Magazine, page 51:

One passenger train in each direction can run as a mixed train, and by this means the empty wagons are returned.

1960 June, R. C. Riley, “The coastal branches of South-East Devon: Part Two”, in Trains Illustrated, pages 343–344:

(rail transport) A train consisting of both passenger coaches and freight vehicles.

second man

I should imagine that the smooth riding and the quietness of the diesel or electric cab, coupled with the effect on the eyes of endless successions of sleepers disappearing from sight immediately under the driver's eyes, might in time have a soporific effect, so that the company of a second man, who can assist in signal observations when he is not at work in the engine cab, seems highly desirable in such conditions. In most countries using these forms of power, a second man is provided for on any train on which the maximum distance between stops exceeds a certain predetermined distance or time.

tri-mode

Testing of a five-car Hitachi Class 802/0 tri-mode unit will begin in 2022, and the train could be in traffic the following year. It is expected the train will save more than 20% of fuel on Great Western Railway's London Paddington-Penzance route. The plan is for the '802' to use battery power in and out of stations, and through urban areas. Of the 305-mile route, only 53 miles as far as Newbury are electrified (17%).

2020 December 30, Richard Clinnick, “Network News: Hitachi targets 2022 for testing of tri-mode trains”, in Rail, page 12:
