I trimmed the non-North-American systems from the table. A new reference I found asserted that the "Citadis Spirit" was the name Alstom used for the vehicle they called the "Citadis Dualis" in Europe. That is plaining incorrect, as the Dualis is a bybrid, dual electric-diesel drive. But it muddies the water enough that I don't trust the Canadian sources on other systems that use the Spirit, outside Canada. Geo Swan ( talk) 22:23, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
@ Joeyconnick: Decimal of inches for measuring rolling stock are not only appropriate but also traditional. The Citadis was designed and measured in metric. However when rolling stock is designed and measured in imperial fractions inches are used. I KNOW this from the time that I worked at MLW. NEVER have I seen decimal inches on a locomotive design drawing. Decimal feet are only used in civil engineering and land surveying, both topographic and cadastral.

I have reverted edits that are continuously listing and linking Metrolinx, especially in the infobox. The infobox was becoming crowded with stats dividing up stats between OC Transpo and Metrolinx. The infobox is not the place for this. It's coming off as trying to promote each system. The purpose of the infobox is "present a summary of some unifying aspect that the articles" per help:infobox. Not to crowd with irrelevant statistics that belong in the article itself. 174.89.129.51 ( talk) 16:03, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
