The North British Railway was a British railway company, based in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was established in 1844, with the intention of linking with English railways at Berwick. The line opened in 1846, and from the outset the company followed a policy of expanding its geographical area, and competing with the Caledonian Railway in particular. In doing so it committed huge sums of money, and incurred shareholder disapproval that resulted in two chairmen leaving the company. Early on, mineral traffic became dominant and brought in much more revenue than the passenger services.

rdfs:comment	La North British Railway (NBR) est une ancienne compagnie de chemin de fer écossaise créée en 1844 puis regroupée en 1923 avec sept autres compagnies pour former la London and North Eastern Railway. (fr) Die North British Railway (NBR) war eine britische Eisenbahngesellschaft, die von 1844 bis 1922 existierte. Die Länge des zum größten Teil in Schottland gelegenen Streckennetzes betrug 2218 km. Im Juli 1845, rund ein Jahr nach ihrer Gründung, eröffnete die NBR ihre erste Strecke von Edinburgh nach Berwick-upon-Tweed. Bereits kurz zuvor hatte die Gesellschaft die Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway übernommen. Auf diese folgten zahlreiche weitere Übernahmen von Bahngesellschaften lokaler und regionaler Bedeutung. Die wichtigste war 1865 die zwischen den beiden größten Städten Schottlands. (de) The North British Railway was a British railway company, based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

(en) ノース・ブリティッシュ鉄道（ノース・ブリティッシュてつどう、英語: North British Railway）は、スコットランド・エディンバラに本社を置いていた、かつてのイギリスの鉄道会社である。ベリックでイングランド側の鉄道と連絡する目的で1844年に設立された。1846年に路線が開通すると、会社は初期から地理的な営業範囲を拡大するという方針を追求し、また特にカレドニアン鉄道と競争を繰り広げた。このために会社は巨額の資金をつぎ込むことになり、結果として株主の承認を得られず2人の会長が辞任することになった。そうではあるものの、会社はカーライルに到達することに成功し、後にここでミッドランド鉄道と協力を結ぶことになった。さらにエディンバラからパースやダンディーへも結んだが、長年にわたってこれらの都市へはフォース湾とテイ湾を渡るフェリー連絡を要していた。最終的にノース・ブリティッシュ鉄道はテイ橋を建設するが、強風の中列車が渡っている最中に橋が崩落した。会社はこの失敗を切り抜けて、2代目のテイ橋を開通させ、さらにそのすぐ後にフォース橋も開通させて、エディンバラより北の鉄道網を大きく変革した。初期から、鉱物の輸送が主となり、旅客輸送よりも多くの収入を鉱物輸送から得ていた。 (ja) North British Railway var ett brittiskt järnvägsbolag bildat 1844 som trafikerade Skottland och norra England. Bolaget bildades 1844 med mål att binda samman Skottland med det engelska järnvägsnätet. Deras första steg var att bygga en bana mellan Edinburgh och Berwick-upon-Tweed vilken blev klar 22 juni 1846 då de började trafikera sträckan från Berwick-upon-Tweed till North Bridge station i Edinburgh. Länken vidare söderut, Newcastle and Berwick Railway, var dock inte färdig än utan öppnades först året efter varpå det blev möjligt att åka tåg från Edinburgh till London. En resa som krävde byte i både Berwick och Newcastle då det saknades järnvägsbroar över både Tweed och Tyne. (sv)
