[edit] Big Goof on my part.
I see I screwed up the talk page. Sorry. ---- DanTD 17:02, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Normal procedure would to have put the proposed new version on a page in your userspace (ie a sandbox page) and then given a wikilink to it here so we could all review it, etc Pickle 17:13, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
-
- I just tried to find a sandbox, and I couldn't. That's because I was thinking of it under another name. ---- DanTD 17:15, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
-
-
- Just create one in your userspace. For example, if you edit User:DanTD/Old Seaboard Air Line Railway Station (or whatever appropriate name you choose for the proposal) to contain the proposed merge, you can have the categories and stub templates as they would be in the final article rather than commented as they are now above.

[edit] Amtrak, SFRTA, and another old railroad station
What do you know? I just found out that the West Palm Beach (Tri-Rail station) and Seaboard Coastline Railroad Passenger Station are one in the same as well.
http://www.trainweb.org/usarail/westpalm.htm
Looks like another merger should be considered. ---- DanTD 17:22, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- "Seaboard Coastline Railroad Passenger Station" is a bad name for an article (and a redirect); the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad had a large number of stations. --NE2 17:25, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
-
- Which is why I suggested a new name for the one in Deerfield Beach. ---- DanTD 17:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Railway lines in Lapland?
How should the succession boxes in the railway lines in Lapland be handled? The issue here is that there are physically two branching lines, which separate at Kemi. One goes northwest to Rovaniemi and onwards to Kemijärvi. The other goes straight north to Kolari.
Now, the only important place (at the level of the entire Finland) here is Rovaniemi. It's a city with almost 60 thousand people, but all the other places mentioned above are much smaller. Kemi, the branching point, has only about 22 thousand people. Kemi itself can only be reached via Oulu, which is a very important city, with over 100 thousand people. So the lines would start at Oulu, but where would they end? Should they be named Oulu-Kolari and Oulu-Kemijärvi? My original plan was to have Oulu-Kolari and Oulu-Rovaniemi, with an additional Rovaniemi-Kemijärvi line after Rovaniemi, but it seems a bit silly, as it's the same track all along.

[edit] More SFRTA Tri-Rail Duplicates?
I just found what may be another duplicate article for stations along the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority. First it was Deerfield Beach, then it was West Palm Beach, now it might be Hialeah Market (Tri-Rail station) and the Hialeah Seaboard Air Line Railway Station. ---- DanTD 01:19, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Assessment backlog
I need some experienced project members to help take a look at the articles listed in Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains/Assessment#Requesting an assessment. These are articles that were specifically listed for reassessment, usually after an editor has put some work into them in order to raise their assessment levels. These articles deserve more than just a quick look and assessment update (which is the main reason I haven't been able to get back to them), so please take the time to leave comments on the associated /Comments pages (linked as "assessment comments" in the {{TrainsWikiProject}} banner) for the articles from that list that you review. I haven't had as much time as I would like to get back to this list as I would like, so I'm making a public appeal now for other experienced editors to take a look too. AdThanksVance!

[edit] Renaissance Trains
Does anyone know much about this company? All i have found out is that it is successful, has numerous proposals for companies, runs Hull Trains, has two managers who were the founders and is based in York. Simply south 17:00, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Does the SR West Country Class article meet your specifications yet?
A bit of an overhaul has been undertaken of the article, expanding certain aspects and improving the flow. --Bulleid Pacific 14:04, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- The next step is to work toward GA level. It's already listed as B class on the talk page. On a first scan, a couple things that I can suggest for further improvement are:
- Cite your sources.
- Use {{Infobox Locomotive}} to give the specs of the class as a whole; you can use EMD GP30 as an example of using this infobox to describe a locomotive class.
- Expand the lead section to more completely summarize the entire article.
- Split the list of locomotives in the class into its own article, perhaps titled List of SR West Country Class locomotives.
- Hope this helps. Slambo (Speak) 15:19, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Dunellen is a Borough in Middlesex County, New Jersey, not Union.
[edit] Speed
What exactly qualifies as "high speed" in rail transport? 161kph? Simply south 14:51, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Herdings Park supertram stop and others AfDs
Several Sheffield Supertram stops/stations are up for batch deletion.
- Herdings Park supertram stop
- Herdings supertram stop
- Gleadless Townend supertram stop
- Middlewood Tram Stop
Editorial note; all of these were prodded and AfD'd within 10 hours of the articles creation. (AfDs not originated by me. They are listed here for information purposes only). --Oakshade 15:39, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
