Dates of operation?

The article currently lists 1957 as the end date of operations. This is incorrect, as freight operations continued, with regularity, until 1959. However, the railroad sat dormant, until it was formally abandoned in 1961. Should the end date reflect the end of operations in 1959, or the formal abandonment in 1961? --216.216.68.69 (talk) 22:00, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would think that "operations" would be 1959. Sammy D III (talk) 22:50, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I put a table in all in one piece, so it can be deleted easily. I was thinking of taking car info from the rest of the article and making a "Rolling stock" section, with or without the table. Sammy D III (talk) 21:18, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you omit cars 22, 42, 107, 209, 305, and 400-419? Lost on Belmont ^3200N_1000W (talk) 00:55, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did the tables a couple of years ago, I don’t remember which sources went where, but I just checked out “Third Rail” and some other stuff. When I first made the tables I had “except” 22, 42, 107, and 305. Don’t know 209. Looks like I lost 400-419 when I put “Wood” and “Steel” together. Sammy D III (talk) 04:08, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You should check your sources again. All of those cars existed. 209 was made from one of the wooden parlor cars. Lost on Belmont ^3200N_1000W (talk) 12:35, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I will. The problem with 209 looks easy, you know I fixed 400-419. I have to figure out why I "except"ed the other four. Sammy D III (talk) 14:08, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know how I screwed that up, all in "Third Rail" and Peffers v.3. I had to be looking at a newer roster from somewhere else.

I don't know what to do with "Florence" and "Carolyn". With all, list by first number only, or duplicate entry with each different number? I am not happy with "notes". Sammy D III (talk) 16:01, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I know why some of those were "except" now! The 209 was "Carolyn" and the 305 became one of the "steel" parlor cars which ended up becoming 435 and 436. You could probably make a note for 209 and 435-6 stating as such. Lost on Belmont ^3200N_1000W (talk) 19:44, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like we just missed each other before. I just put every car under every number, I think. Is a "Rolling stock" section a plus? Sammy D III (talk) 00:17, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
