Talk:Caledonian Railway

message: I strated to create a route map for the main line, however it does not appear that it will work for the main line in its entirety. I have created a new page at Caledonian Railway Main Line which ultimately will replace the Main Line section in this article. You will see that the route map for the Carstairs to Greenhill Junction section (being made contiguous by include the relevant portions of the Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway and the Wishaw and Coltness Railway. This is most defintely work in progress as the route templates for the Carstairs to Edinburgh; and the Carstairs to Carlisle route maps still require to be constructed. I welcome help with this activity. --Stewart 23:25, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't know if there is an article for this, but trains in the Glasgow area had the route shown by means of a two-arm "semaphore" carried on a spare lamp iron on the loco front. I've got at least two lists:

message: According to the photogaphers description the photo was taken at Blackford  on the Caledonian line. Blackford Hill was on the North British according to Butt Who is right? Chevin (talk) 06:55, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: and  were not just on different lines, they were many miles apart. Of note is that Blackford Hill was on the Edinburgh Suburban and Southside Junction Railway, so you would expect a substantial amount of housing close to the station; but the photo in question shows very little. Also note that the surrounding countryside seems fairly flat, whereas the photo of Blackford Hill station there is a definite slope on at least one side of the line. The other clue is that in the photo in question the line is dead straight, but the line through Blackford Hill was rather sinuous. --Redrose64 (talk) 15:06, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

message: "On 23 October 1899, an express passenger train was in collision with a cattle train at Cupar, Forfarshire. One person was killed" something seems to be wrong here as a) Cupar is in Fife b) the Caldeonian did not operate trains through Cupar. Mix-up with Coupar Angus in Perthshire which was a Caledonian Station? Dunarc (talk) 14:41, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I couldn't find it in vol. 4 at all; in vol. 2 it's not on p. 9 but p. 16, which shows Coupar Angus, so . --Redrose64 (talk) 15:55, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

message: There is a Masonic Lodge which was founded to cater for employees of The Caledonian Railway, while it was still under construction: the Lodge was constituted to be a "travelling Lodge",i.e., to open meetings at any convenient place along the railway line. It was established in 1849 (No.354 on the Roll of the Grand Lodge of Scotland), and an extract from its Charter runs: "The Lodge shall be composed entirely of Brethren connected with or in the employment of the Caledonian Railway Co. at the date of initiation, passing, raising or affiliation." The Lodge is still in existence, and still keeps the regulation, unique in Masonic history, of admitting as members only men who were employed on the railways at the time of their initiation.

Is this sufficiently noteworthy to merit addition to the main article?Nuttyskin (talk) 12:32, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
