The listing for "Gulf Coast and Santa Fe" should be "Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe". I have copies of documents from the Railroad Historical Musieum in Temple, Texas that are from the GC&SF, and are dated in 1926. These include an inventory of real propeerty located in Brownwood, Texas. Bill Wilson Tomball, Tx

Ampersands "&" in Railroad titles

[edit]

These little marks are part of many U. S. railroad corporate titles as the railroad names were reported to the Interstate Commerce Commission. It is evidentily Wikipedia Policy to change actual corporate titles by substituting the word "and" instead of the ampersand "&". This is done to enhance linkability between articles. This is not the correct corporate title in some cases. For example the correct title in 1948 for the Santa Fe is The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company. By substituting an incorrect name Wikipedia is practicing a type of revisionist history and the true name is lost. --SSW9389 (talk) 20:57, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why not have portals on cat pages? Those are some of the pages people may be on the longest, looking for links or info they could find more easily with portals. Joe I 11:30, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
