stub?[edit]

I removed the "stub" labels. Personally, I feel they should only exist on articles which have so little information that they are of little or no value - not on any article which is short and could conceivably be expanded. This article is a coherent whole; it could be expanded with, say, links to various place the trains go by - but that hardly (IMHO) means it should get a label that implies it is defective, which is what "stub" should mean. - DavidWBrooks 12:21, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point. I put them back because I felt the text gave little more than a definition of the article name. Personally, I have no strong feelings either way on this one. The article should be expanded, and there are plenty of ways to do so (additional details on the history, operations and equipment used, for example), I just don't have the references handy right now to cite for such an expansion.

If "stub" is regarded as a placeholder to remind people that a given article is capable of expansion without too much effort, then it's fine here. If it's regarded as a sort of low-level mark of shame, then it's not. I guess it depends on point of view - and I agree that this is not a topic on which strong feelings or a great deal of time should be expended! - DavidWBrooks 14:03, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
