[edit] Canadian Pacific Railway
Self-nomination, as well as my first FAC. It's been on Peer Review for a few weeks and I think it's ready for FAC now. JYolkowski 21:26, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Support. I commented on this during peer review already so have nothing further to add. --JuntungWu 16:01, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Comment - Could do with a good shot of a modern locomotive in the current red livery. The CPR locomotive is relatively iconic in towns across Canada, and were this to make the front page box I could only see the corporate logo serving as a halfway-useful accompanying image. -The Tom 19:18, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- To clarify, are you more interested in having a picture of a modern locomotive added, or in having a picture of a modern locomotive added so that the image can be used on the Main Page if/when the article is there? The reason that I ask is that I don't have any photos of CPR locomotives in my personal photo collection (and it would be somewhat inconvenient to get one right now) and I can't find any suitable PD/GFDL images on the Internet. I probably could find an image at http://www.trainweb.com/ or find something to claim as fair use at CPR's corporate website but neither would be suitable as Main Page images. Also, I'm getting ahead of myself here, but personally I think the photo at Craigellachie would make a better Main Page image. JYolkowski 22:12, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Since I'm modeling the former Milwaukee Road's LaCrosse Division (which was purchased by Soo Line and is now CP's mainline across Wisconsin), I've made a few trips to the line to take some research photos. I know I took some photos of CP trains on my last trip. I'll see if I can find something suitable this week... slambo 15:16, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
- Cool! Thanks in advance, JYolkowski 22:32, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I do have a couple photos that would work, but don't have electronic copies of them. I'm a bit busy this weekend displaying my models at the Mad City Model Railroad Show, but if I can get to a scanner, I'll upload a couple. slambo 14:58, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)

- Support -- Virutally all of the remaining red links have been eliminated, remainder will be gone within hours. This is a rich and fascinating history, well documented - especially JYolkowski's efforts. Definitely feature article worthy.Fawcett5 05:47, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC))
