Eckhart Branch Railroad

The text was copied from http://home.comcast.net/~phstakem/rr/TQC/EBRR.html by User:Pstakem - I don't think there's a problem here. --NE2 17:20, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gaithersburg Station

If Gaithersburg (MARC station) and Gaithersburg B & O Railroad Station and Freight Shed, are the same station, I'm going to merge both articles. I'm also going to tell the creator of the Gaithersburg B & O Railroad Station and Freight Shed article about this. ----DanTD (talk) 22:20, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of Maryland railroads

I reverted your edit. Going down the list:

Ampersands were no longer in reporting marks by 1987, when the C&O briefly entered Maryland.
I can't find anything reliable showing CVRR as a reporting mark. Most of the lists found online are copied around, so an error on one will propagate to all. [1] is my main source, which is idnependently compiled from the Official Railway Equipment Register, probably the only reliable primary source listing reporting marks. As for its incorporation date, the ICC valuation report describes how the Cumberland Valley Railroad only acquired the Maryland property when it merged with the Franklin Railroad in 1865. (However, it leased the Franklin Railroad in 1860, so I'm correcting that in the list.)
Similarly, I can't verify the GC&C reporting mark. Since the George's Creek and Cumberland Railroad merged into the Western Maryland in 1917, and was actually operated by the WM since 1913, it's very unlikely that it had a reporting mark.
The same source shows that "NCRY" was assigned in 2000, possibly for this tourist line. The old Northern Central was leased by the PRR in 1911.
Ditto for WVC&P, except that doesn't appear in any reporting mark list I can find. For the incorporation date, see the ICC valuation report: the West Virginia company was created in 1881, through a renaming of the Potomac and Piedmont Coal and Railroad Company, but a same-named corporation was incorporated separately in Maryland in 1882.
The Western Maryland merged into CSX in 1989, per Moody's Transportation Manual: [2]

Articles for deletion nomination of Benning Road

I have nominated Benning Road, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Benning Road. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Dough 48 72 03:10, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Western Maryland Railway

Western Maryland Railway did not actually enter the city of Baltimore. It served as a link to Western Maryland from Owings Mills, where the Northern Central Railway terminated. If we consider Baltimore County part of the Baltimore Task Force, then perhaps Western Maryland Railroad should be included. Otherwise, maybe it shouldn't.

Of course, Northern Central, which did indeed enter the city, should be included among the subjects supported by the Baltimore Task Force. So I've added it. Folklore1 (talk) 01:03, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored WM to the Baltimore Task Force. Folklore1 (talk) 14:20, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mount Savage Railroad

Thanks for adding the copypaste tag (and providing the source too!) on that article. I have removed the copied text and the template appropriately. Minima c (talk) 17:17, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:William Robinson (1840-1921).jpg

A tag has been placed on File:William Robinson (1840-1921).jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Catawissa Railroad, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Buffalo (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

DYK for Baltimore and Lehigh Railroad

On 12 June 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Baltimore and Lehigh Railroad, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Baltimore and Lehigh Railroad was split along state lines in 1894? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Baltimore and Lehigh Railroad. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Removal of citation templates on Automatic block signaling

I noticed your excellent work copy editing Automatic block signaling. Your improvements are much needed and highly appreciated! However, please do not remove citation templates, such as {{Cite book}} and {{Cite web}}, as you did with this edit. Citation templates help us standardize citation formatting across all articles, track usage, and easily update formatting in the future should grammatical handbooks change. – voidxor ^{(talk | contrib)} 08:26, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article Edits on Frederick and Pennsylvania Line and Little Pipe Creek bridge...

Good morning... I saw your recent edits on these pages... I would like to know more about the changes you made but there is no talk section material to work with that outlines your proposed changes, however thank you for adding abbreviated detail in the edit summary ... Given that, I am requesting you to elaborate on some of your short hand notes below ...

What is c/e?

I think I understand you moved the company letterhead graphic over to the info box, hence, infobox, moved ext links to separate sect., + cat; adj images;

Since the PRR leased and then later bought the railroad why do you consider a graphic of the PRR letterhead they used to operate on the railroad off topic? (del PRR letterhead (off-topic))

In the case of the USRA work on Little Pipe... I agree on the citation needed but the notes laid out the source of the material in this case a state of Maryland report, I will fix that issue and remove the flag...

As a newer editor... I now understand the policy towards external links and appreciate that edit.. but I am at a loss to understand the graphic edits... I will research the wiki style manual on this and propose an alternative that should be acceptable to all... I will come back to this page and post my proposal ... thanks Risk Engineer (talk) 13:28, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Mine Hill Railroad" & "Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad"

Sir, greetings from the Netherlands (so: excuse my english). As I am trying to read Friedrich List's works on railroads, I stumbled on this: Pennsylvanian law, Act 46 >Incorperation of Minehill Railroad and Canal Company< ("Incorporirung der Minehill-Eisenbahn- und Canal-Gesellschaft"). Now, I did find in the english wiki the redirecting page "Mine Hill Railroad" → "Lehigh and Hudson River Railway". Surmising this is not the one I'm looking for, I found using a search-programm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Trains/ICC_valuations/Mine_Hill_and_Schuylkill_Haven_Railroad . Perhaps you could and would edit the english wiki, and make a disambiguation-page? Albeit I do not know more about the "Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad" so it will be a "reddend link" / page does not exist - unfortunately. The >MHaSHR< IS often mentionned in the english wiki. Greetings, Stan 77.171.92.12 (talk) 18:31, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
