First, an important note for everyone to remember:
A few Wikipedians have gotten together to make some suggestions about how we might organize data in articles about trains and railways/railroads. These are only suggestions, things to give you focus and to get you going, and you shouldn't feel obligated in the least to follow them. But if you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the below guidelines may be helpful. Mainly, we just want you to write articles!

WikiProject Trains
[edit] Scope
This WikiProject aims primarily to improve the coverage of trains and all things railway/railroad in Wikipedia. In support of this goal, this WikiProject will define standards for articles and track our progress in such coverage. It will also be a central place for those interested in such topics to discuss common themes.
Articles within this project that need to be updated or created are listed on the project todo page: Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains/Todo
Highlights of this project's output are listed on Portal:Trains

[edit] Task forces
Task forces are informal groups of WikiProject Trains members who collaborate on certain subtopics of rail transport. In alphabetical order, the current task forces (and their main focus) include:
-
- Article maintenance task force - performing the more mundane tasks such as bypassing disambigs and monitoring the list of articles to write.
- By country series task force - articles in the Rail transport by country and History of rail transport by country series.
- Categories task force - standardize the categories under Cat:Rail transport into a comprehensive system of categories.
- Images task force - create and locate suitable images for use on rail transport articles and replace fair use images with free images where available and appropriate.
- Locomotives task force - articles about locomotives throughout history, worldwide.
- Maps task force - create and maintain standardized maps of railroad routes for rail transport articles.
- Operations task force - articles about rail transport operations with particular attention to organization and inter-system generalization.
- Passenger trains task force - articles about passenger trains and passenger train equipment.
- Portal task force - maintenance and content updates of Portal:Trains.
- Rail transport modelling task force - articles related to rail transport modelling.
- Timelines task force - articles in Category:Rail transport timelines and the "Selected anniversaries" and "Trains news" sections of Portal:Trains
