If you know anything about the history of the Western half of North America, you'd know that nearly every town was started as a result of the railway. Kevlar67 21:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
I would question Middlesbrough being a railway town as it is on a spur of the old Stockton and Darlington line and only has direct connections to Whitby and Newcastle on the coast route, which delivered steel to Teesport. Darlington is a railway town as it is a major junction on the East Coast Main Line. Sfgreenwood 23:50, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
I wouldn't say Middlesbrough ios a railway town either - most 'railway towns', the UK anyway, tend to have major works within them too. The railway making it a 'major port' doesn't make it a railway town.(80.193.99.43 (talk) 13:53, 23 April 2008 (UTC))
