Original research / POV-pushing at Railway electrification

I don't want to go further into 3RR territory, so please can someone take a look at the recent addition to Railway electrification and make appropriate adjustments. 10mmsocket (talk) 21:13, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

@10mmsocket: I've had a look at the cited source and could not find the 0.56% emissions claim from rail transport in 2021 in the US. The only thing I could find was The largest sources of transportation greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 were... and rail (2%). Fork99 (talk) 21:24, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Pinging @Mackensen as they reverted the IP's latest edit. Yeah, I agree that this is original research. Fork99 (talk) 21:30, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Took a look through the source cited. Even if the editor's claims are true, none of them are supported by the source. I agree that this is OR as well. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 22:04, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

A source saying that rail transportation has a somewhat negligible overall contribution to greenhouse gases in the United States cannot be used to support the claim that electrification would not reduce emissions. These are two entirely different claims. Mackensen (talk) 22:14, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Mostly Italy and the Czech Republic. As I think I mentioned somewhere before, the Italian route templates are about a decade out of date so it's not a 1-to-1 conversion job. Mackensen (talk) 11:49, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Help w historic railroads of Georgia (U.S. state)

Hello! Hoping this is an OK place to ask for help improving A. J. Orr and D. W. Orr. They were slave traders who were hired by several antebellum railroad companies in Georgia (U.S. state) to provide "hands" to build the tracks. I think I found one of correct links to the corporate successor of the company they worked for, but no luck figuring out South-Western Railroad and Milledgeville Railroad. Any guidance would be much appreciated! Thanks for looking and thanks in advance for any help you can offer. jengod (talk) 17:46, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Train Stop Priority

Hi all, I am currently looking into an extension of the Altamont corridor express and Amtrak San Joaquins as part of a rail agreement. I wanted to know, at a point where both trains have service, do I put the Altamont Corridor as the template style for the page here on wikipedia, or do I use the Amtrak template style?

Who owns the station? Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:01, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

There's no hard-and-fast rule. Generally it comes down to whatever the most visible presence at the station is: whether one style of signage is used, who owns the station, whether one system runs by far the most trains, etc. It's also fine to omit the style parameter entirely.
