I thought a thread on railroad history and train history might be fun, my appologies if this has already been done.

Please feel free to post your rail and train history links, here a re a view to get us started.

This will end up a massive thread if you manage to list 1% of the information out there. If all goes well, I'll start a category in the Trainz Resources Directory. Because of the magnitude, maybe you specify a specific era because yesterday is history to me!

History

I think having a History section on TRD would be great, it would be awesome if it becomes the best of the best as far as the links go.

Don't forget to use the term British rather than English if you are lumping the Scots, Welsh and English together.
