Canada


Under the provisions of the Dominion Lands Act of 1872, the railway companies had the power to survey new townsites along their rail lines, throughout Western Canada. Virtually every community in Western Canada that was created after 1870 (the majority) was directly created by the rail companies. One company, the Grand Trunk Pacific, actually began naming the new towns along its main line in alphabetical order from east to west, demonstrating the arbitrary nature of their planning powers.




Czech Republic


Česká Třebová - This town in Eastern Bohemia has been an important settlement for more than seven centuries but since 1849 it became a large railway hub where main lines connecting Bohemia and Moravia meet. The largest rail yard in that country is located there as well as maintenance and scrap works.
České Velenice - The settlement was developed around an engine depot and railway works located on halfway between Vienna and Prague. Originally a suburb of Austrian town of Gmünd, the railway junction with its hinterland was attached to newly created Czechoslovakia after World War I and became a town of its own.
Kralupy nad Vltavou - Since Middle Ages Kralupy was a tiny insignificant village on the Vltava River. Since the 1850s it became an important railway junction and centre of petrochemical industry.

Spain


There are different kinds of railway towns in Spain:

Railway towns: new creation settlements which have community services (medical service, school, church...)
Railway villages: new creation settlements which have no community services.
Railway neighborhoods: settlements which appeared near a formerly town.
Some of them can be partial, non-entire. It means that railway activity was not the only one; it coexisted with other economic activities such as mining industry, cargo trade or customs activity.
