Adopt a Train
Posted by Randall_Roberts on Tuesday, May 13, 2008 11:37 AM
My blog post today is an appeal to railfans and model railroaders to adopt a named passenger train on Wikipedia that is, as yet, undocumented on that site. The post isn't exactly brief, so I won't duplicate it all here. But the gist of it is that there are many, perhaps hundreds, of named passenger trains on Wikipedia's list that haven't had a page written about them yet. If enough railfans adopt one train from their favorite railroad and contribute a couple of paragraphs, this will help keep these trains from being forgotten by future generations.
