I've looked over Edward Lewis' bookVermont's Covered Bridge Road for mention of operations out of Cambridge Junction, but didn't find anything more than than this mention of the junction (on pages 34 & 36) and a few photos of the station at that location:By 1938 the passenger train was running from St. Johnsbury only as far west as Cambridge Junction where passengers could change to a Central Vermont Railroad (successor to the Burlington & Lamoille Railroad) train and continue on to Burlington.I'm sorry for the delayed response, but Lewis' book has no index; so I had the not unpleasant task of re-reading the text.Thewellman (talk)01:28, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Somewhat by accident, I ended up rewriting the history of theChicagoan and Kansas Cityan. At this point I might as well go for GA - adding a station list, RDT, route description, and map should be pretty easy. However, I'm short on sources for equipment;Classic American Streamliners doesn't have anything of note. Would you mind a quick perusal through your collection? It looks like you were the one to add the Wayner source.
Side note: I doubt it'll be necessary for this purpose, but should you ever want them,this title mentioned inthis edit, as well asthis title, seem to be available in person near you. Cheers,Pi.1415926535 (talk)23:28, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just to give you a heads up, I wasn’t the one that started the issue, 611fan2001 was the one that caused it. I was only trying to follow the policy and to prevent the article from being vandalized. He’s been doing this for four years already, when ever he sees and edit he doesn’t like, he would go to their talk page and send the user a rude and nasty message very aggressively. When users try to reason with him over his aggressive behavior, he will not accept criticism. But don’t get me wrong. I know yelling at someone and attacking them on their talk page is not ok. Because he still hasn’t been warned yet abd it still baffles my mind that you guys haven’t warn him about his behavior yet, because attacking users on their talk page is not ok and it’s against Wikipedia’s policy to do so.199.180.167.20 (talk)19:41, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
First off, you didn’t even acknowledge what I wrote and said about 611fan2001. He’s been doing this for four years already, he still hasn’t warned yet over his aggressive behavior. He literally attacks users on their talk page and tells what to do and what not to do, as I stated, he won’t take criticism whenever users try to reason with him. Because attacking users on their talk pages is not ok.199.180.167.20 (talk)19:54, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This has nothing to do with the article changes, again, it’s 611fan2001 that needs to disciplined for his aggressive behavior. This behavior of his is not ok, I don’t have a problem of him following the Wikipedia policy, that I’m fine with, it’s his aggressive behavior that needs to be changed. Because it’s not ok to talk aggressive to users on their talk pages.199.180.167.20 (talk)20:50, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mackensen, I came over here because you're already interacting with an individual who's been trying to contact Amanda duPont - they're using the accountsUser:Sikobuhle andUser:Mavela buhle as well asan IP. At one point, they added their name[1]. Since Canterbury Tail had a theory they could be a minor I did a quick Google and although they are an adult, it appears they may have some intellectual difficulties. To me it feels like the self-outing should probably be revdel'd if this is the case; I didn't want to post on AN/I because of how visible it is, hence this comment. If this isn't revdel-worthy, sorry for taking up your time!StartGrammarTime (talk)04:27, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is nowno longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improvingRfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please seeWikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing!theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

I understand that Wikipedia is not a guide, but the intention was to show a top-down layout of the station and immediate surrounding area, similar to the photograph(s) shown on many other station pages. The diagram and others like it are not intended to provide wayfinding.
Additionally, you had a valid point in that a station with two tracks does not need such detail, but one notable caveat with this line is that it is left-hand running, and may be a notable quirk for those that visit the page.
Finally, when I looked at the most recent version of the diagram prior to deletion, I noticed some problems with what got published. There are no excuses for that and I will have to polish it up, but the main question is… considering the points I made, and if I ironed out its errors and made it collapsed by default, could I restore it to the page?
I suppose I am making a mountain out of a molehill, but I wanted to give my side of the problem and hear yours before adding it back, or conceding and not adding it back.
Thank you for your time, sorry for the long read at a late hour, and I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.Hotdog with ketchup (talk)04:05, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

Hello, I noticed that you reverted my edit onTemplate:Trans-Siberian Railway. Your revert was justified and I will only be going back to fix one particular row, but I will add that collapsible sections within diagrams are very finicky, and almost never line up, especially between browsers and/or devices. Both before and after my edit, the end station was about half a space off when viewing the template, and a full space in the article (using Safari on an iPhone.)
I will leave the spacing as-is, but I encourage you to look at the same diagram with a different device, as it may look completely different. It is why I avoid working with collapsible diagrams.
Thank you for your hard work, cheers.Hotdog with ketchup (talk)12:52, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Given your experience on Wikipedia and the areas around it, I'd like to hear you out, because I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here and I must be missing something. If you or I were to leave someone a message in good faith, and they were to reply that you suffer from delusion, you're mindless, you're an inexperienced, overconfident, careless editor, you're turning articles to shit, and you're incompetent (among other things), surely letting that go on is a liability for the project? In my mind, if it chases away a single potentially productive editor, failing to address it makes us just as responsible for losing the thousands of contributions that productive editor would have otherwise made. And I think it would be naive to say that tolerance of a toxic environment has only chased away one potential editor. For what it's worth, I agree with your stance on civility restrictions; I intended it as aWP:ROPE for him and a compromise for those hesitant about indeffs.Thebiguglyalien (talk)01:32, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
losing the thousands of contributions that productive editor would have otherwise madeis belied by the facts. I can't speak for what Keystone does to articles off my watchlist, but of articleson my watchlist, there's not a single one that they touched that they didn't turn into complete, unreadable crap strewn with gibberish "sentences", reversals of meaning in the course of pointless "copyediting", and utterly screwed-up formatting. For the sake of the articles themselves, instead of simply mass-reverting I went through every one of Keystone's edits looking for anything that might be useful; out of 500+ edits by Keystone, I found maybe five that were helpful, mostly addition of links. Everything else they did was, literally, at best useless and usually destructive. So save the tears.EEng14:43, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
have been involved in some back-and-forth on articles. For ten days Keystonecompletely ignored all attempts at communication (including reversion edit summaries, talk-page messages, and pings)and then had the temerity to suddenly appear on my talk page to lecture me with delusional (yes, that's the word, given that other editors had several times tried to set him straight) ideas such as that images must all be on the right, and all the same size, and that hidden comments aren't allowed,and then topped it off by telling me to
Open yourself to collaboration with other editors, and consider their input. So, no "back and forth", just one editor wandering around the landscape fucking things up and spouting hypocritical platitudes, while others with better things to do clean up his messes.EEng19:27, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your two edits that said you reverted mine on theCoaster train service page are very misunderstanding. The edit that I made is to change "service" to "line" since only one line is used in the system. The reason why I had to do this is so that people can know that it operates on one line only. For one edit, you said that it is not the distinction being made on the page. For the other edit, you said to look atWP:BRD and discuss on the article's talk page. These edits are very misunderstanding to me. Please add additional information of why my two edits were reverted.Hikingboii (talk)17:14, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Charles. Good to see you still around. I am not sure if you readThe Signpost regularly, but I noticed (sadly) the obituary for Matthew Brown (Morven) who died last year (he has not been active since 2009 so the news took time to reach Wikipedia). Not sure how well you knew him (you served together on ArbCom) but I have posted a courtesy noticehere and thought you would want to know. I am only contacting a few former arbitrators from that time, but maybe you will know better who might want to be informed. All best wishes.Carcharoth (talk)09:31, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted themhere,here, andhere, but I'm worried other edits might have slipped through the cracks since they're rapidly cycling IP addresses.

Budd saw the new coach as a bench-mark development in its company history.... Article:
and was seen by the Budd Company as a milestone product
...recalling the "Pioneer" airplane and the Pioneer Zephyr train, called the prototype car thePioneer III. Article:
With this assessment in mind, the Pioneer III name was chosen in reference to the Budd Pioneer stainless steel aircraft and the Pioneer Zephyr lightweight trainset
"...had become obsolete and needed to be replaced by a more advanced design. Overly durable cars only encouraged the railroads to make do with existing equipment.
Other critics challenged Budd's claim that stainless-steel bodies were maintenance-free. It was true that painting was not re-quired, though the Pennsylvania and the Norfolk and Western both insisted on Tuscan red exteriors. However, keeping stainless cars bright was sometimes almost as troublesome and costly as cleaning painted cars. 141 More serious was the problem of major body repairs. Few railroad shops were equipped to deal with stainless-steel fabrication or Shotwelding, and after a smash-up it was often necessary to ship the body back to Philadelphia. For-eign purchasers found this particularly discouraging; indeed, the Portuguese National Railways gave it as their major reason for declining to accept deliveries on additional stainless cars.
Despite these minor complaints, Budd made steady progress in obtaining orders and advancing the cause of the stainless-steel car. After World War II the company took over a war production plant in Red Lion, Pennsylvania, for a new car shop. Five assem-bly lines and 4,000 employees were soon at work, and by 1949 they had delivered more than 1,000 cars. Budd developed a good export trade and granted several licenses to foreign builders for the manufacture of stainless cars. The firm even successfully re-vived the rail car in 1949, calling it the RDC (Rail-Diesel Car). Seven years later Budd developed a cheap, extra-lightweight coach that it hoped to mass-produce.
Budd saw the new coach as a bench-mark development in its company history and, recalling the "Pioneer" airplane and the Pioneer Zephyr train, called the prototype car the Pioneer III (Figure 2.84). A full-sized (85 feet, 2 inches long by 11 feet, 6 inches high), full-strength car, it weighed an incredible 26% tons, or about one-half of a standard lightweight car. This saving pro-duced by a spartan interior, head-end power, and a radical inside-bearing truck design. The weight per passenger was down to 600 pounds, a figure not approached since the days of wooden con-struction. In some ways the car was a regression, since passenger comfort was sacrificed somewhat for economy and the elimination of dead weight. Seating was provided for 88, with a noticeable reduction of legroom. Small, prefabricated toilets, patterned after the one-piece plastic units made for airliners, replaced the spacious lounges to which passengers had become accustomed. The interior was assembled from precast plastic units. There were no reading lights, footrests, or ashtrays. The Pioneer III was a stripped-down economy model which even the manufacturer conceded was not suitable for long-distance travel. Still, the cost was only $90,000, and more luxurious versions were possible if desired. But the Pioneer III returned from a two-year, 120,000-mile tour with no customers. The year was 1958, and the railroads..."
