1913 Railway Clearing House Map

From about 1880, new laws required that new railways connect to existing railways, if at all possible. Unfortunately, many of the Railway Companies did not wish to completely co-operate with other companies, and fees to run over other railways tracks became very complicated. The Railway Clearing House was created to sort this problem out.

With so many companies trying to use so many different routes, maps like the ones above had to be published. This map appears to be from 1913,judging by the date on the bottom left hand corner of the map.
