Talk:Railroad

Views, please?

How do we take this forward (if I can be forgiven for speaking proprietorially, even though it's not my article)? I've added quite a bit to history, though 99% is UK history. In itself that's not bad, as modern railways originated in the UK, but there is a lot more railway history out there, as well as vast amounts of non-historical railway 'stuff'. In my opinion this article could usefully be divided into a number of sections, all brought together by links to an umbrella railway category. Otherwise, it will become enormous and unreadable (especially my contributions). Views? Also, what is the general rule re. sources? I could cite plenty of written works, but don't really have any favoured websites (which is not to say that there aren't good railway history sites). Alba 18:05, 23 May 2007 (EDT)

Feel free to break stuff out to separate articles as needed.

The general rule re sources is to provide them. Books are fine and are probably preferred as they would usually be considered more reliable, although web-sites are easier to check.
