The information in these pages was obtained from AREA Committee V, Track, document published c. 1924.  Unfortunately, the only portion of the book was available was a copy of a few pages pertaining to track.  Some of the pages have footnotes referencing other AREA publications, with "Adopted" dates.  The latest "Adopted" date is 1924.
