"William Yolland CB, FRS (17 March 1810 \u2013 5 September 1885) was an English military surveyor, astronomer and engineer, and was Britain\u2019s Chief Inspector of Railways from 1877 until his death. He was a redoubtable campaigner for railway safety, often in the face of strong opposition, at a time when railway investment was being directed towards the expansion of the networks rather than the prevention of accidents. He was a member of the three-man committee of inquiry into the Tay Bridge disaster."@en . "1885-09-05Z"^^ . "Yolland, William"@en . "Military surveyor, astronomer, and engineer" . "1810Z"^^ . . .
