Notability[edit]

This was kicked around at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Trains#Collision at Rafz so I thought I'd raise it here: is this crash notable? Thankfully there are no fatalities nor significant damage; if it was a signal passed at danger then that's not all that noteworthy. Compare 1990 Back Bay rail accident; no one was killed in that accident either, but it did considerable damage and had lasting effects on Amtrak's training regime.

Yes, I am not sure this is going to be worth keeping. The fact there was a somewhat similar accident two years before and that supposedly the safety equipment should have prevented this one is leading to a lot of discussion in Switzerland, so time will tell I guess. Possibly an AfD in a couple of weeks after we see whether coverage continues and issues continue to be broad? Yngvadottir (talk) 05:53, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
