-
A temporary committee of directors of certain railway companies met on the 30th March 1854 to consider legislative proposals arising from the Select Committee's Report of 1853. Further meetings were held to deal with other matters, and on the 26th June 1867 a new organization, the United railway companies' Committee was formed. In May 1869 this committee assumed the name of the railway companies' Association.
The Association ceased to function upon the nationalisation of railways under the Transport Act 1947.
