Allen (1886– 5 February 1973[1]) was a British railway engineer and technical journalist and writer. WorkQualified as a civil engineer, Allen worked for the Great Eastern Railway and later the London & North Eastern Railway, becoming an authority on steel rails. He inspected new rails for quality. He also was the second contributor to the long-running British locomotive practice and performance article series in The Railway Magazine from 1909 to 1958,[2] and then went on to write for Trains Illustrated (now Modern Railways), which at the time was edited by his son, Geoffrey Freeman Allen. He was a committed Christian and an accomplished organist, writing a chorus "The Lord has need of me". He was offered a place on the train when Mallard broke the world speed record in 1938, but declined the offer as the run was scheduled for a Sunday morning and clashed with his regular church (Christian Brethren) attendance.{{citation needed|date=July 2012}} BibliographyHe wrote numerous books on locomotives, and railway company histories, as well as an autobiography "Two Million Miles of Train Travel":[2]
