Brooklands is a disused motor racing circuit and airfield built
near Weybridge in Surrey, England. It opened in 1907, and was the
world's first oval-style motorsport venue.
United States arm of the Canadian Pacific Railway, serving
Chicago and the areas to the east and west. Formerly known as
Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railway (and commonly known
as the Soo Line after the phonetic pronunciation of Sault)
generally referred to as the Rio Grande, became the Denver and
Rio Grande Western Railroad in 1920, and is today a fallen flag (a
railroad that has been absorbed into a larger system — Southern Pacific
Railroad — as the result of a merger).
The Rio Grande was the epitome of mountain railroading,
operating the highest mainline rail line in the United States, the over
10,240 ft (3,121 m) Tennessee Pass in Colorado
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) was one of the oldest
railroads in the United States and the first common carrier railroad,
with an original line from the port of Baltimore, Maryland, west to the
Ohio River at Wheeling and a few years later also to Parkersburg, West
Virginia.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, often abbreviated as
Santa Fe, was one of the larger railroads in the United States.
Although the railway was named in part for the capital of New
Mexico, its main line never reached there as the terrain made it too
difficult to lay the necessary tracks
