British Railway Association

The British Railway Association (BRA) was a professional organization founded in 1907 to represent the interests of the British railway industry. It served as a collective forum for railway companies, engineers, and industry stakeholders to share knowledge, coordinate policies, and promote developments within the railway sector. The BRA played a key role in standardization, safety improvements, and technological advancements during its time, helping to shape the growth and modernization of Britain’s rail infrastructure. Although it no longer exists today, its work laid important foundations for contemporary railway coordination and management.
