...that the
Dublin Area Rapid Transit8100 Classelectric multiple units in
Ireland were originally designed to offer seating for a total of 176 passengers per two-car set, but in response to growing passenger numbers 48 seats have been removed to offer more standing room?
...that the 1:76.2 scale OO gauge standard for
model railways was introduced in 1921 when manufacturer
Bing found it was unable to fit propulsion mechanisms into the 1:87 scale
HO scale models of
British trains, given the relatively small size of the prototypes?
...that before construction began on the Trans-Mongolian Railway in 1947, the only railways in
Mongolia had been a 43 km (27 mi) line connecting the coal mines at
Nalaikh to the capital and a Soviet-built 236 km (147 mi) freight-only branch from
Borzya on the
Trans-Siberian Railway to Bayantümen near
Choibalsan in north-eastern Mongolia?
...that
Russianbroad gaugeMTV-82trams, built from 1947 to 1961, saw service in
Moscow,
Kiev,
Gorky,
Sverdlovsk,
Vladivostok and many other
Soviet cities and towns before they were retired in the 1980s, and they were well liked by drivers and repair crews for their simplicity, reliability and durability?
...that the
East Japan Railway Company's 209 series trains were introduced in 1993 as low-cost, minimal lifespan (approximately 15 years) train that would be replaced rather than rebuilt, and in 2006 JR East announced their replacement from Autumn 2007 by the
E233 series?
...that Steam locomotive condensing apparatus was used on various locomotive designs either to recover water and allow increased range through
arid areas, or to avoid excessive emissions to the atmosphere for use in environments such as
underground railways?
...that the
Great Eastern Railway (GER) Decapod was an experimental
British0-10-0steam locomotive designed to match the acceleration of
electric trams, and although it met its objective of accelerating a 300
ton (305
tonne) train from a stand to 30-mile-per-hour (48 km/h) in 30 seconds, its
axle load was too high for it to be put into regular service?
