Railway Stations In Australia Opened In 1878
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Skillion Roof
A shed roof, also known variously as a pent roof, lean-to roof, outshot, catslide, skillion roof (in Australia and New Zealand), and, rarely, a mono-pitched roof,Cowan, Henry J., and Peter R. Smith. ''Dictionary of Architectural and Building Technology''. 4th ed. London: Spon Press, 2004. Print. is a single-pitched roof surface. This is in contrast to a dual- or multiple-pitched roof. An outshot or catslide roof is a pitched extension of a main roof similar to a lean-to but an extension of the upper roof. Some Saltbox homes were created by the addition of such a roof, often at a shallower pitch than the original roof. Applications A single-pitched roof can be a smaller addition to an existing roof, known in some areas as a lean-to roof. Single-pitched roofs are used beneath clerestory windows. One or more single-pitched roofs can be used for aesthetic consideration(s). A form of single-pitched roof with multiple roof surfaces is the sawtooth roof. See also * List of ...
