Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 2 external links on Abandoned railway. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Corrected formatting/usage for http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/cats/transportation/all_modes_of_transportation.html
• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20170329232149/http://www.ble-t.org/pr/news/headline.asp?id=26568 to http://www.ble-t.org/pr/news/headline.asp?id=26568

I propose merging Adverse abandonment into Abandoned railway. Adverse abandonment is a one line definition which has no business being its own article. Ironmatic1 ( talk) 06:06, 31 January 2022 (UTC) reply

Support merge Adverse abandonment is a real thing, to give one example, the Housatonic Railroad filed an objection to Metro-North Railroad's attempt to discontinue HRR's trackage rights and abandon the Beacon Line in 2021: [1]. But the subject makes more sense covered within this article than as a standalone stub, unless enough sources covering adverse abandonments can be found.

Do you think I should go ahead and merge the text (a whole sentence!) and redirect the adverse page to the US section here, Trainsandotherthings? Doesn't seem like anyone else is gonna comment. Ironmatic1 ( talk) 20:27, 7 February 2022 (UTC) reply

No objections from me. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 22:59, 7 February 2022 (UTC) reply
