The captions and the histories of the stations and routes on
this website have been written by the contributors consulting many resources,
not least from the many articles and books that have been published over the
last century. Therefore much of the detailed information contained within the
website is due in great part to the efforts of the authors of the publications
listed below. We wish to take this opportunity to both express our recognition
and our thanks for their dedicated research and hard work.
