I do not believe the project Rail transport in the United States requires cleanup to meet Wikipedia's standards, and for this reason I am removing the Cleanup Template from the article.

[edit] Too Concentrated on Passenger Rail
Like many other Wikipedia rail entries, this concentrates too much on passenger rail and not enough on freight rail (of which the US has much more usage).--Rotten 09:00, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Regional speech
I'm going to change all instances of "railway" and the like to "railroad" to line up with standard US usage. Tmrobertson (talk) 03:38, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Northern California
This region is one of if not the busiest passenger rail area on the west coast, but nothing is mentioned in the article. I'm going to try to find citations and implement what I know about Caltrain, the Bay Area Rapid Transit rail system, and about the Amtrak Capital Corridor route between Sacramento and San Francisco/San Jose.

- Yes, the lead says too much about specific commuter lines, while the body says little and lacks links to important lines. Either the relevant lead words should move to a new, expanded section, or another article should discuss these matters in much more detail. Jim.henderson (talk) 18:39, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
