Hi Chris, Interesting to see you over here...! Ross - in case you haven't found a definition, a "radial" railway is the Canadian (but apparently not British - or you would've known) term for what is commonly referred to as Interurban railways. The term "radial" refers to them radiating out of a roughly central point. There used to be radial railways for instance that went west, north, and east out of Toronto, Ontario (Canada) into the surrounding towns. (South is the lake... [;)]) As far as I know, they weren't necessarily electric, although many were. They sometimes used oil-electric "doodlebug" type cars. Andrew
