Greetings, in my wanderings around Wikipedia, I came across Qingdao–Jinan through train. While searching for sources, I found these additional articles (which I added into See also section):

• Qingdao–Jinan high-speed railway – a faster parallel high-speed railway
• Qingdao–Jinan passenger railway
• Qingdao–Jinan Railway – the older "conventional" railway running along the Jiaoji passenger railway

Since I am not familiar with the topic, I am asking for help here. Wondering if any duplication, and if so maybe combine articles? Regards, JoeNMLC (talk) 20:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The 3 railways are different railways, built at different times, on somewhat different routes. I can't see any advantage in combining them. The passenger service is another matter and not very useful in its current form.--Grahame (talk) 01:52, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can I ask, on my mac book, the images have truncated, obscured the citations, is this happening for other users on here?? Govvy (talk) 18:02, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. There are too many images on the article for the amount of prose, there is also a MOS:SANDWICH issue in the reference section. I'll start a discussion on the article talk page about which images we should use. Thryduulf (talk) 18:16, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Any help expanding Dixon, Peoria and Hannibal Railroad, a new article, would be appreciated. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:53, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do we have any articles covering the concept of an infrastructure inspection train or an inspection train? I'm thinking of something like the inspection trains in Victoria (Australia). Nyttend (talk) 04:47, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We have more specific articles Track geometry car, Track checker (covering only the USA and Ireland), China Railway comprehensive inspection trains, Catenary maintenance vehicle, Clearance car, and articles about individual examples (e.g. New Zealand Track Evaluation Carriage, New Measurement Train, Doctor Yellow, SNCF TGV Iris 320, Inspection locomotive (which focuses exclusively on the steam era)), but as far as I've been able to find we don't have an article on the concept as a whole beyond the higher level Departmental vehicle (an article in poor shape). We have Category:Maintenance of way equipment (which is broader) and sub-category Category:Track recording trains (which is narrower) which I found by knowing the New Measurement Train article exists. It turns out this is an area which needs quite a bit of work. Thryduulf (talk) 12:54, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes infrastructure is inspected using an ordinary train that is not carrying passengers (in the UK, it will run under a 1Z** or 5Z** headcode). An example of this is the empty train sent out along the down Northern City line from Moorgate on 8 March 2013, in order to find out why water was pouring through the tunnel crown to the north of Old Street. See Penetration and obstruction of a tunnel between Old Street and Essex Road stations, London 8 March 2013. No spoilers: it's interesting reading. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 14:01, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Last week the SEPTA Metro rail network in Philadelphia debuted its new line names.[1][2] This means that there are a bunch of pages that need to be moved, and their articles need to updated. Additionally, we'll have to update many templates and its subpage at Module:Adjacent stations. This is a big task and while some editors have been making some changes, there are currently lots of inconsistencies in the existing articles (i.e. some have been partially updated, some not updated at all). Aside from this conversation from over a year ago, I haven't seen much discussion on it, and would like to suggest forming some type of ad-hoc taskforce.

See this talk post (from December 2023) that mentions many of the proposed page moves that should now be implemented: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Stations#SEPTA_Metro_page_moves

I would be happy to have a discussion about this and I hear any other suggestions. –Dream out loud (talk) 18:25, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Dream out loud: Stations and Modules are already done, I'm saving the line articles for last. Cards84664 18:36, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
