[edit] 2005 comments
This is lifted pretty much verbatim from the 1905 book 'The History of the Midland Railway'. It is now out of copyright and therefore legitimate to use in this context.
I've rewritten all of it, using another source also which is referenced at the bottom. It's not verbatim anything anymore, as I wrote it myself this afternoon. Leonig Mig 19:25, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Who was the author, and when did they die? Andy Mabbett 22:13, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- I'm not sure. If your asking with relation to copy vio, there's no point. I read the books, made notes, then wrote the article. It's entirely original. There are references at the bottom of the page and both books are at the B'ham Ref. Library should you care to check it out. Leonig Mig 16:38, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Page move
I have moved this to 'Birmingham and Gloucester Railway' as it is more consistant with other railway company articles, also we usually use 'and' rather than '&', just in case anyone was wondering. G-Man 20:35, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] American locomotive
What is the significance/story of the loco pictured? It is not mentioned in the text. -- EdJogg (talk) 12:32, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- It was one a number of Norris locomotives imported from the USA, because British manufacturers did not feel they could build engines to cope with the Lickey Incline I'm sure I put some notes about this in an earlier version. Incidentally I'm sure there is no mention of banking in accounts of the line's early history. Chevin (talk) 16:52, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
