Nayoro Main Line

(

• Back to T:TDYK

• ... that the Yubetsu Line, a branch line of the closed Nayoro Main Line, was once a light rail line?
  • Comment: Have only done DYKs for KiHa 183 series and KiHa 80 series, so no QPQ required.

Nayoro Main Line in the snow

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Another decent railway article from MiasmaEternal - thank you. Just one niggle from me. The hook could be way more exciting than that. How about a hook listing some of the wonderful places that the main line travels through, and using one of its great pictures? (If you do that, you will need to copy the picture here and into the article). I personally think the one above (with the snow removal train) is the best one, because you can see the train and line clearly, and also the fabulous scenery and the atmospheric snow. Right now the world is full of frustrated travellers, so let's give them a treat, if only in a picture. Storye book (talk) 15:19, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

I'll probably work on this on the weekend (I'm busy at work), but I like your idea and the spirit of it. MiasmaEternal☎ 19:53, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

• OK, no probs. Storye book (talk) 20:32, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

I couldn't find anything so far along these lines, but I've come up with a suggestion:

ALT1: ... that the Nishi-Okoppe and Yubetsu stations on the former Nayoro Main Line are now the site of a hotel and fire station respectively? MiasmaEternal☎ 08:45, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

• Thank you. I am happy to approve ALT1, and to take its offline references in good faith. Storye book (talk) 10:31, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
  • @MiasmaEternal and Storye book: I'm not seeing the hook facts in the article; could this be cleared up before I promote? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 19:01, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

• Aagh. I missed that. Thank you, Theleekycauldron. MiasmaEternal, could you please add the hook wording to the article, with citations? Storye book (talk) 19:52, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

• And done. MiasmaEternal☎ 20:47, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

• Thank you, MiasmaEternal. Good to go, with ALT1, which is now repeated in the article together with its citations (citations are offline, taken AGF). Storye book (talk) 20:57, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
