Cecil J. Allen (1886– 5 February 1973〔Obituary in the Times, 7 February 1973〕) was a British railway engineer and technical journalist and writer. ==Work== Qualified 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,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.steamindex.com/library/allen.htm )〕 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.
