Barlow rail[edit]

This this Barlow have anything to do with the design of Barlow rail, a cross section that was in any case not very successful?

Tabletop 04:09, 13 November 2006 (UTC) No it was his father who designed the rail Peterlewis 20:21, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Scott[edit]

I have inserted a reference to Gilbert Scott as the architect who designed the Midland Hotel at St Pancras. Peterlewis 20:21, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Barlow rail and the GWR?[edit]

The broad gauge GWR used a heavy section bridge rail. Some constituent companies (notably the South Wales Railway) used Barlow rail. However Barlow rail was also withdrawn from such use fairly quickly, a few years before the merger with the GWR. So is it true to say (as stated here) that "the GWR used Barlow rail"? Is there a good citation to support this? Its constituent companies used this rail, but not successfully and not into the time period of them being part of the GWR.
