Too Many Photographs
The quantity and quality of the photographs used here is questioned. There should only be 1 photo per article. They were poorly inserted and were interferring with the flow of text.
 * Five things. First, don't make a dozen minor edits and save each time. Edit many times, save once. Second, regarding your comment on having too many photos on that page, where in the Wikipedia article guidelines does it say to have only one image? BC Rail has ten images and it's a featured article. Third, the page needs more written content. That will help with page formatting. Fourth, the images' quality are what they are. Since Wikipedia requires free licenced or public domain images, the amount of available images is limited. If you don't like them, take your own superior images and submit them. Finally, you are free to fix it yourself if you don't like something. MrHudson 02:56, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

To clarify, I meant too many for the size of the article. Can we expand the article? I love domes and the single level ultradomes.

I did remove 1 photo today, because there simply isn't enough text to justify 3 photos that take up more room than the article.

If you want to replace it, add more text.

DMUs
Quoth the article:


 * ''The Colorado Railcar DMU is a niche offering. The Colorado Railcar DMU is a niche offering. Where passenger trains run on active freight lines, US Federal regulations dictate the use of heavy rolling stock. This regulation prohibits the use of lighter, more advanced Japanese and European models -- except in cases where time segregation has been implemented."

This is a sort of confusing paragraph. It seems to imply (though doesn't come right out and say) that the Colorado Railcar DMUs aren't up to FRA regs. However, I thought the whole point of their DMU offering is that it can be run on active freight lines, unlike the European and Japanese cars. If it can't, then on what basis does it compete with those "more advanced" offerings? --Jfruh (talk) 00:23, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

more history
Apparently, CR formed to dodge impacts of Florida Fun Train collapse. Seeing some sites talk about financial hit CR might have taken from lost orders for Phillip Morris' luxury Marlboro Unlimited train. Would sites like trainweb.org qualify as legit Wikipedia source? May look for more info on these projects from newspapers/magazines.
 * In general, no, sites on trainweb wouldn't be considered reliable without establishing that the author was a subject-matter expert. IIRC Karl Zimmermann discusses the Florida Fun Train in The GrandLuxe Express (2007), but I don't have it in front of me. Mackensen (talk) 01:45, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
