After trade moved from the river to rail traffic, the city's role changed.
The station opened for general rail traffic on 1 March 1886.
Construction started in 1853; the line opened to rail traffic three years later.
Rail traffic between the two countries would eventually resume in 1992.
During construction, a test was carried out to see if it would hold the weight of the expected rail traffic.
Rail traffic is also heavy, with a daily average of 157 trains.
The bridge cost £16,000 to build and was opened to rail traffic on 6 October 1876.
Air and rail traffic also had to be shut down until the situation cleared up.
The tunnel was finally opened to rail traffic in August 1937.
Few trains are made here now and rail traffic is much reduced.
The biggest obstacle is the signal system that governs train movement.
Modern technology has generally reduced the labour required per train movement.
A main signal controls a train movement along a running line.
The line has also been used for exceptional train movements, including:
At its peak in the 1920s, there were 282 train movements daily.
Signals may not be operated to permit conflicting train movements to take place at the same time.
The line went into operation on April 15, 2002, and reached a peak of 60 train movements per day in October 2006.
The timetable thus provides the basic framework for train movement on a particular portion of the railroad.
The tramway had been built in 1896, and a ground frame was installed to control conflicting train movements.
The support of family preservation can be traced back to the negative reaction to the 'orphan train movement'.
