The River Foss is an improved river in North Yorkshire, England, and a tributary of the River Ouse. It rises in the Foss Crooks woods near Oulston reservoir close to the village of Yearsley and runs south through the Vale of York to the Ouse. The name most likely comes from the Latin word Fossa, meaning ditch and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. The York district was settled by Norwegian and Danish people, so parts of the place names could be old Norse. Referring to the etymological dictionary "Etymologisk ordbog", ISBN 82-905-2016-6 dealing with the common Danish and Norwegian languages - roots of words and the original meaning. The old Norse word Fos (waterfall) meaning impetuous. The River Foss was dammed, and even though the elevation to the river Ouse is small, a waterfall was formed. This may have lead to the name Fos, and later changed to Foss.
The responsibility for the management of the river's drainage area lies with the Foss Internal drainage board (IDB). It has responsibility for the area from Crayke to the pre-1991 city boundary of York covering 9,085 hectares and 162.54 km of waterways. The Foss IDB is itself part of the York Consortium of Drainage Boards that oversees 10 IDB's in the Yorkshire region.
The River may refer to:
A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as stream, creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague.
Rivers are part of the hydrological cycle. Water generally collects in a river from precipitation through a drainage basin from surface runoff and other sources such as groundwater recharge, springs, and the release of stored water in natural ice and snowpacks (e.g. from glaciers). Potamology is the scientific study of rivers while limnology is the study of inland waters in general.
The River Foss is an improved river in North Yorkshire, England, and a tributary of the River Ouse. It rises in the Foss Crooks woods near Oulston reservoir close to the village of Yearsley and runs south through the Vale of York to the Ouse. The name most likely comes from the Latin word Fossa, meaning ditch and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. In 1069 William the Conqueror dammed the River Foss just south of York Castle, close to its confluence with the Ouse, to create a moat around the castle. This caused the river to flood further upstream in what is now the Hungate and Layerthorpe areas, forming a large lake that was known as the "King's Pool" or the "King's Fish Pond" and which provided fish for the markets. It was approximately 100 acres in size and fishing was only allowed by li...

My thoughts on the Scenario: Slow moving, but very nice scenery, and a good challenge for a slippery high grade Track. Personal Notes: I made a complete mess of this one. Although when I noticed the wheels slipping I used the Sander, but apparently even though it seemed like it stopped the slipping, it apparently didn't once I saw the score. I could have just held the Sander from Start to Finish, but what's the fun in that! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scenario Description: The challenges of track grade become even greater with the snow in winter. The line is open, but snow makes the track slippery. Remember, sand can be your friend, but a gentle hand on the throttle is essential. Take our mile and one-half long train from...

Marquette Rail may be just a 126-mile shortline, but it often acts like a much bigger road. Chase MQT’s “Turn Job” from its starting point in Sparta, Michigan to its turn point at Baldwin, where it swaps trains with the “Bald Eagle” job and then returns to Sparta. Though Marquette is a shortline, as we’ll see, big power and big trains are a common sight. While the southbound run is shorter owing to the weekend break up north when sand does not load, the northbound is a sizeable manifest equipped with 12,000 horsepower. Such power is often needed to handle massive trains in excess of 10,000 tons, thanks to the heavy sand, salt and line routinely shipped in long blocks. So let’s head north, and spend an entire day watching the Turn Job, from start-up to tie-down! MQT Turn Job Northbo...
