This subpage is my list of railroad-related projects both before and during my membership in Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains, and associated WikiProjects.

Let it be known that I refuse to recognize the recent campaign to eliminate railroad systems from station names over the excuse of unnecessary disambiguations, with the exceptions of most widely known terminals and hubs. In other words, the present state of WP:USSTATION can be damned to hell!

Somehow I've been able to take the chance to capture various images of railroad stations, mostly on the east coast, and mostly Amtrak stations. For images of the Long Island Rail Road that I've captured, see My LIRR Images. For those I took related to the New York City Subway system, see My New York City Subway Images. And for those few in the Metro-North Railroad system, see My Metro-North Images. In the meantime, the pictures that I've taken of other stations are as follows;

Other stuff

Talk page archives for the following articles:

Image lists for the following systems:

Diffused the commons category for National Tramway Museum in Crich, Derbyshire, England.

During the period when it was removed in a December 2008 clean-up of the main Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains article, I added the "Recent changes in rail transport-related articles" to this subpage, not to claim it for myself, but simply to continue to use the guide to recent changes. The link was restored, but I kept the link to my subpage in the event of any similar mishaps, until March 7, 2020.

Other pages;

Saved Blue Line (Pittsburgh), by merging Blue Line – Library and Blue Line – South Hills Village.

Articles I want to Create

FORMER GOALS

Merge every article on every railroad station on the National Register of Historic Places, with any article on existing Amtrak, tourist, or commuter railroad stations, wherever they are appropriate.
Image categories for images from St. Louis MetroLink, and other commuter rail & light rail systems that aren't in the commons yet.
Lists of Seaboard Coast Line, and other stations that share the same if not similar names.
Add info from my own sandbox into the List of streetcar lines in Westchester County, New York.
Separate categories for stations along Texas and Pacific Railway lines, Kansas City Southern Railway lines, and maybe some others.
Splitting Category:Stations along New York Central Railroad lines for those that were consolidated into the NYC.
Create bridge categories and tunnel categories for Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, and maybe others.
Separate more categories for images of railway stations by country.
Separate mass transit template categories for Category:Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority rail succession templates
Consider the possibility of separate regional rail template categories for Category:SEPTA succession templates
Template, line, and succession categories for Houston METRORail line maps, Detroit People Mover, NICTD's West Lake Corridor, Seaboard Air Line Railroad, freight-only railroads, and others.
More S-line templates for the Adirondack Scenic Railroad, and new ones for the Green Mountain Railroad.
WikiProject specifically for Chicago Area mass transit, similar to Wikipedia:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation
Electrification of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Other dates in rail trasnport.
Others I can't decide on just yet, like some abandoned Long Island Rail Road stations.

Commuter rail stations as possible former Amtrak stations

I've mentioned this before, but there are still a lot of commuter railroad stations that I've suspected might've been former Amtrak stations. For most, I've gained no answers about them, but after some struggle I was able to confirm that Attleboro (MBTA station) had been an Amtrak station before being turned over to MBTA. Nevertheless there are plenty of others that I'm suspicious about, and they include the following;

Laurel (MARC station)
Point of Rocks (MARC station)
Union Depot (Pueblo, Colorado) (Not a commuter rail station, or an active station, but still suspected of being an ex-Amtrak station)
Rialto (Metrolink station)
Whitford (SEPTA station)
Any MARC train station that's still owned by Amtrak.

I've also wondered about some Metra and Metro-North Railroad stations. These should be examined, and the Former Amtrak stations categories should be added to all those articles. A helpful source for this has been the Museum of Railway Timetables website, but it hasn't answered everything.

Other stuff

Existing railroad articles to work on

Boonton (NJT station) (For a historic station, this is severely lacking in info)
Stony Brook (B&M station)
Seek historic info on Elgin (Metra station)
Seek historic info on Bellows Falls (Amtrak station)
Anything else that seems threatened.
Upgrade the status of the Central New England Railway category, as a subcategory of New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, just like New York and New England Railroad‎ and Old Colony Railroad‎.
Build an infobox for the Garrison train crash article.
Fixing multiple California-related railroad articles(I have no particular interest in California railroad stations, but many of them need tons of work.).
Find some articles to add this timetable to.
Find an article related to the Port Jefferson Marine Railway that I can add that link to.
Find as much info on New York City Metro Area trolleys as I can, such as the routes of the Westchester County trolleys, any missing trolley info on Long Island, etcetera.
Find out if there's a connection between the Staten Island Horse Railroad and Staten Island Electric Railroad.
Seek out any former Boston and Maine Railroad station in New York that might have an article, if not then find an excuse to write about one.
Add this link for info on Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway in the Cleveland, Ohio area.
Expand sections on the Far Rockaway Railroad and Rockaway Village Railroad to the Ocean Electric Railway.
Revert all recent unjustified renames of stations throughout the country.
Try to do something about that POS Wikipedia:Route diagram template that never seems to work for me!!
Find a way to ad [http://www.abandonedrails.com/algren-to-abilene this link to the article on Virginian Railway
Take as many pictures of railroad stations as I possibly can.
