Introduction: Rail and Wallangarra The earliest presence of rail travel in Australia began in 1854, first developed within states to link major settlements with various resources. The idea of intercolonial transportation began circa 1855: a network of railways systems crossing the country and connecting major settlements. Railways slowly expanded as settlements developed further inland, with rail essential in bringing farm and mining produce to capital cities and ports. Wallangarra, a town situated
experience of riding train, I figure out the rail track, terminal, train unit and the power car has effect on the performance of railways transports. Besides that, I also able to compare the bus transport service and the railway transport service. Both of them have the different in the service provided and the pros and cons of the service. 2.1 RAIL TRACK Rail track can be known as the railroad or railway, is the permanent way for the train.

symbolism that happen throughout the novella, some being more apparent than others. Some of the main and more important examples of symbolism would be Vern’s lost penny jar, Mr. Lachance’s garden, and finally the deer that Gordie sees while near the train tracks. These specific items have very meaningful symbolism attached to them that is vital to the story.

After that night, I had lost faith in almost everything. I stopped attending church, and rarely made an appearance at school. Most days I would walk bare foot across town and all the way across the sparsely grassed fields and sit by the railroad tracks where Mary and I used to go to have picnics and talk.

concept of hauling over a hundred railcars with as little as two crew members allows for a distinct advantage over the trucking industry with regards to fuel and labor costs. • Space. A large quantity of railcars can be stored in a small area due to track design and the fact that cars are coupled together in a straight row. • Maintenance costs. While this can also be a weakness, the longevity of assets is typically more than in other industries. Locomotives can last for 30-40 years with routine
The railroad in the United States assisted with its growth and expansion from sea to shining sea. However, with the advent of the personal vehicle, trucks, and aviation, the railroad began to decline (Gallamore & Meyer, 2014). Therefore, one might question why Warren Buffett purchased Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad for $26.5 billion dollars. However, years after the $26.5 billion dollars was spent, no one would question the investment as its revenue has since risen 57% and has become a

An out-of-control train is barreling down the tracks. There is a split in the track ahead and you are standing near the lever that controls which way the track will go. On one side of the track, a group of construction workers are working on the track. One the other side of the track is just one constructor picking up some tools. They are too far away to hear you yell and the only thing left to do is pull the lever. Which way would you direct the train? Morality plays a key role in the decision a
