Algoma Central Railway Passenger Train

My name is Al Errington, username Wabatong. I am contacting you as the original poster of the article on the Algoma Central Railway. I would like to suggest doing a separate article on the Algoma Passenger Train. There is a lot to write about from the early history with the Group_of_Seven_(artists), the Algoma passenger train's role in economic and tourism development of the region and the recent history around the successful efforts to save the Algoma Passenger Train. I cannot write the article as I am not a disinterested party. My family has owned the largest tourist lodge along the ACR line since 1975 - Errington's Wilderness Island, I am co-chair and a founding member of the Coalition for Algoma Passenger Trains - www.CAPTrains.ca, and I am the CAPTrain's member of the Algoma Passenger Train committee - www.algomapassengerrail.com, that is responsible for saving the Algoma passenger train over this past year and a half. I can provide lots of information on the Algoma passenger train both directly and also from my many contacts. If you or one of your fellow wikipedia authors is interested in this project I would be happy to help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wabatong (talk • contribs) 20:38, 25 April 2015 (UTC) Kanada (talk) 20:45, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

That sounds great and I appreciate that you're working to avoid a conflict of interest. My wife and I took a Tour of The Line vacation a couple years after CN bought WC. We've wanted to get back to the area to explore further (I'm in southern Wisconsin so it's an extended weekend trip), but haven't had a chance to yet. I would be happy to help.
