Should the information regarding the whistles be kept or removed (in part or in whole if that is the case)? Because when I look at it, I feel that at least 1 point is more of an opinion than it is fact. Specifically, the point about fred gurley's whistle shrieking. Wouldn't some people consider it something other than a shriek? Plus NONE of the information stated there is cited so it's hard to tell whether or not the info given is accurate. Anybody could claim that the ward Kimball's whistle is a Crosby 3 chime when it is in fact a different whistle like a lunkenheimer 3 chime.71.201.71.151 (talk) 16:15, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The number one consideration when determining whether content in an article should be removed is whether it has a healthy amount of inline citations backing it up, and the section on whistles has none. In my opinion, it should be removed along with all of the other long-winded and unreferenced sections of the article. Having this much unimportant information about a subject is akin to an article about a famous novel having the entire text of the novel included in it. Highlighting every nitty-gritty detail and sub-topic about the subject is not how Wikipedia articles are supposed to be written and if we want the Disneyland Railroad article to eventually be returned to Good Article status, the editors who added this unnecessary content need to accept that fact.

Shall we add a new info link about the "Ward Kimball locomotive breaking down" to the "Incidents" section even if it's a featured article?: https://www.ocregister.com/2019/08/12/disneyland-railroad-breaks-down-forcing-evacuation-and-stranding-engine/ Trainsfan13 (talk) 18:24, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That counts as an incident and the source is legit, so adding a two-sentence description of the incident to the article is acceptable. Jackdude101 ^talk cont 18:36, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What does the Santa Fe No. 3751 steam locomotive got to do with the Disneyland Railroad? Trainsfan13 (talk) 00:46, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They're both historic steam railroad-related things based in the LA area. Also, iirc, there have been instances where locomotives from the DRR and 3751 have appeared simultaneously at rail events. Jackdude101 ^talk cont 16:03, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, you mean the Fullerton Railroad Days events? Trainsfan13 (talk) 22:05, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's the one. Jackdude101 ^talk cont 10:51, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, so that makes sense. :) Trainsfan13 (talk) 00:44, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As of 2024, the Ward Kimball has left for overhaul at Hillcrest. No official source yet but I discovered some images online. Davidng913 (talk) 20:19, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
