Railway lines category organization
[edit]Should Category:Railway lines be organized the same way as Category:Railway stations? That would mean creating {{Railway lines in countryname opened or closed in YYYY category header}} in a similar way to {{Railway stations in countryname opened or closed in YYYY category header}}. This would help further organize the railway lines into subcategories like "Railway lines in Germany opened in 1957". I hope this request makes sense. Thanks! - OpalYosutebito (talk) 13:42, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- Does it need to be that specific? I would guess there's an order of magnitude more stations than there are lines. Taavi (talk!) 13:52, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- I think you'll run into issues like lines being built and opened in phases over multiple years and cases where we have multiple articles for one line (eg an article on the historic line and one on the present day line, which may have been built by many different companies and at different times).

Name of VR Class Sr3
[edit]The article VR Class Sr3 breaks the naming scheme that's in use for Finnish locomotives (and for other countries AFAICS) as it's in use with two operators and not just VR. Is there any precedent on how to name articles in situations like this one? Taavi (talk!) 13:55, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- Isn't this the case with many rolling stock articles? A lot of German train type articles named DB (or DBAG) Class something something, while also being operated by different companies. Question, is it an issue though? I'd say it depends; who is the first operator or operates significant parts of the fleet; what do the sources call the locomotives?

- There's a similar issue with the "British Rail Class..." articles. Some people object to articles being housed under these titles when the class in question was introduced after the demise of British Rail. The answer is that they are TOPS class numbers, and TOPS was introduced by British Rail. Mjroots (talk) 17:23, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- They do provide a consistency that allows for easy finding. If you know that the train that you're on is numbered 802104 and the one that just passed by the window is 220028, you can look these up as British Rail Class 802 and British Rail Class 220 respectively, and you don't need to know which train operator presently leases them. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:27, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

CalHSR
[edit]Some eyes with expertise in transit funding would be appreciated at Talk:California High-Speed Rail#DracaenaGuianensis as this seems like a rather sticky dispute over what it means for a project to be "funded". Jasper Deng (talk) 05:25, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
