message: According to this source http://www.kurg.org.uk/sites/chalkmines.htm  the distinctive yellowish colour of the bricks comes from adding about 15% of chalk to the clay.

message: Natalie Gulbis appears sometimes on a show that airs on Fox Sports Ohio named "18 Holes with Jimmy Hanlon". In fact, there are episodes of the show where the name is changed to "18 Holes with Jimmy Hanlon and Natalie Gulbis". I'm not sure if this show is produced for the local Fox sports network or it's an independently made show that's syndicated to local sports networks, but I believe it's Ohio-based. There is no article on Jimmy Hanlon (well, one on a European footballer that died in 2002, but not on a golf pro) or the show, but she's famous enough that I'm surprised there's no mention of it on her page, especially since it seems more current than anything else.

Nothing in the current article says otherwise (he didn't reach base on the error, though he wouldn't have reached base without it; also, the error did not extend the inning).

"California Birth Index, 1905-1995" says Wilson Bryan Key was born 31 Jan 1925. (familysearch.org)
1940 US Census lists "Wilson Key Jr.", age 15. (compatible with January 31, 1925) (familysearch.org)
His obituary (linked from this article) says he was 83 when he died on October 8, 2008. (compatible with January 31, 1925)
====Disagreeing:====
However, on his Find A Grave page (linked from this article), two photos of his grave marker clearly show Jan 31 1921. That data is correctly copied as text, and has propagated to BillionGraves. 1921 seems more likely to be a mistake.

"The soundtrack contained very little of Hans Zimmer's instrumental score. The tracks included were pieced together from various parts of the film and therefore not entirely representative of the scenes linked to them."

Talk:Passing loop

message: If both trains are too long for the loop, time-consuming "see-sawing" operations are required for the trains to cross.
It's my understanding that this passing maneuver is also called a "double saw-by." It's probably best avoided if at all possible, even if that means a train has to wait for some time at a longer passing loop. 4.243.206.245 05:31, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A description of how it is accomplished would be useful. 20.133.0.14 14:29, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Another train is cut in the loop and it advances so much further on the track the otherone can be used to manage the rest of the vagons. So time consuming one might argue for a maximum lenght for a train depending on the length of the passing loops on a given track. Passing loops are likely best located in inverse integers (in travel time) along the whole track, how many of them, depends on the expected amount of trains in both directions. see single-line working

message: I know that water treatment was applied to water at many loco depots (and presumably in water towers elsewhere), to soften the water to reduce boiler scale. But was the water fed to water-troughs also artificially-softened? EdJogg (talk) 11:00, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello Ed, it's ChrisRed, in my unlogged mode.  I am pretty certain that the water used in most troughs was untreated.  I had a look at a map of trough locations on both the LNWR main line out of Euston (that's London for you international folks) and the GWR main line out of Paddington.  In almost all cases the troughs are near a plentiful source of natural surface or river water.  I seem to remember reading somewhere that northern-based crews working into Euston were encouraged to take as much water as possible from Bushey troughs on the way in and out, rather than use 'London Water'.  I never realised before just how much water a tender could lift from troughs.  I always thought that they just topped-up the tank, but after clicking on a few links on this page, it is easy to work out that an express doing 'a fair old clatter' could lift a good 3000 gallons plus in a good scoop.  I'm getting fascinated by these things, because I am just too young to have ever actually seen a train use troughs apart from on YouTube (See Youtube \ dillicar troughs \ retro steam in the lune gorge).  Wouldn't it be nice if one of our heritage lines with a good straight run of 'main' (say, the Great Central) could set up a short demo section of trough.  Not much of a scoop at 25-30mph, I know, but at least it would give an idea. 86.148.252.181 (talk) 19:50, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
