April 2023 Montana derailment
[edit]I see that the April 2, 2023 Montana Rail Link derailment, mentioned in the article on the company, is not in this article. " . . . MRL freight train derailed at Quinn’s Hot Springs Resort in Paradise, Montana. About 25 cars derailed . . . ."Dogru144 (talk) 23:16, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Level crossing incidents
[edit]I can understand that this suggestion may not get too far, but I was thinking that perhaps not every level crossing accident should be removed from the list. Of course, incidents that are limited to casualties on the ground only are generally removed because documenting all (or even a fraction of them) would make the page practically unreadable. But I propose a set of guidelines for significant level crossing accidents, including but not limited to:
- Accidents with a road vehicle resulting in the death of train occupants.
- Accidents with a road vehicle that caused a significant derailment/damage to the train (usually not just the front end).
- Accidents directly caused by faulty safety equipment, or case studies involving poorly designed crossings.
or
- An alternate page depicting these accidents, since there is also an alternate page for acts of terrorism.
I understand the issues with WP:NOTEVERYTHING and such, but would like to see a possible solution for the incidents that have a larger impact than the "one smashed-up car, two injured" entries that are frequently deleted and admittedly have little purpose on this page.
For your consideration, @Redrose64: and any others that are interested in adding their opinions. Thank you. Hotdog with ketchup (talk) 03:02, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- I’m open to retaining level crossing with more than 1 dead. Borgenland (talk) 05:09, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- I think that level crossing entries should only be allowed if we have a stand-alone article dedicated to the accident, for instance Hixon rail crash and Ufton Nervet rail crash. In this way, the normal notability guidelines will apply. Otherwise, it's just another silly car driver who didn't read the warning signs. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:51, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- I've found List of level crossing crashes, which has too many flags. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 00:10, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Redrose64 and Borgenland: I will be sure to take a look at the level crossing list. My goal is to extract a full article about this incident which was just removed, in hopes of getting it restored to the list fairly (due to unusual circumstances and a passenger aboard the train being ejected and killed.) There should be sufficient information to make an article that is larger than a stub, but I will work on that later. Thank you both for your feedback!

- Since this was aboard the train, then I do support its restoration. Borgenland (talk) 03:25, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
- Will do, pending Redrose64's approval. Regardless of that decision, I will extract the section from the station article and expand it into its own draft. Hotdog with ketchup (talk) 03:47, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

- List of rail accidents (2020–present) → List of rail accidents from 2020
- List of rail accidents (2010–2019) → List of rail accidents between 2010 and 2019
- List of rail accidents (2000–2009) → List of rail accidents between 2000 and 2009
- List of rail accidents (before 1880) → List of rail accidents before 1880
– etc. I think its more natural, removing the need for disambiguation in brackets. Note that every article in lists of rail accidents by year will be renamed to that format, not just those listed above, hence why I put etc. JuniperChill (talk) 10:13, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
