Question

If a company is formed in 1840, and gains an act of parliament in 1841 allowing it to build the railway - which category does the railway go into? 87.102.72.153 (talk) 21:47, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would put it in 1840 because that's when the company was established. Slambo (Speak) 11:29, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
