Summary[edit]
DescriptionLevel crossing information plate - geograph.org.uk - 1800298.jpg |
English: Level crossing information plate When I first spotted this plate I thought it had been provided by O.S. with the grid ref. shown, but further investigation led me to this website.
http://www.railwaycodes.org.uk/ELRs/ELR0.htm Engineer's Line References, (ELRs), are used by Britain's national railway system to describe individual routes. DOW 14m 8ch indicates the route from Doncaster railway station to Godnow Bridge, covering a distance of 14 miles 8 chains. The chain is an imperial measure equalling 22 yards. As the majority of railways were built in the nineteenth century, it is usually more convenient to stick with older units of measurement, rather than try to convert all records to modern standards. Thanks to Phil Deaves for providing the information. |
