contents section needs to be briefer
the "contents" section is too long. many of the sub-headings can/should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.169.212.136 (talk) 22:24, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Removal of poorly sourced or made up history
Your statement that "The train derailment has never been 'debunked'" is untrue.

What I can find this about this claim of a sunken circus train full of confederate's gold at Devil's Lake online about has been published in the Pine County News and only pointing it out as an myth/urban legand - not as a fact. Their last article was damning about it was by the editor of the Pine County News himself - "This sunken-circus-train-full-of-gold business has gone too dang far"

What is worse is the editor's statement of Wikipedia's involvement in spreading the claim.

"'And that leads us to the thing, the reason I’m bringing all of this up. It was brought to my attention that an area publication reprinted a portion of the Pine County Wikipedia page that addresses this lost train in Devils Lake story. But that page (and that publication) didn’t stop at the story previously described, the story that has been circulating for decades in Pine City. No, the train in the Wikipedia article is now much more than an ordinary train – it’s a circus train, full of Confederate gold, being smuggled to a zoo in Canada before it derailed into our own Devils Lake.'" It goes on...

"'I will point out that this section of our Pine County Wikipedia page first appeared on Jan. 26, 2020, and appears to have been written on a mobile device. I think it’s pretty clear that someone was having some fun here, and decided to amp the legend up to a new level of absurdity.' The IP of the person who did this went on to be blocked multiple times for disruptive editing."

You will need more than a source from a newsletter that very few (if any) have access to review your astonishing claims. It, in itself, is not a reliable source for such a bold claim.WP:RELIABLE WP:VERIFY

BTW: you need to properly cite your source. PCHS could be any thing. Perhaps the Postal Carriers Historical Society?

Examples:

''Number. Author AA. Title of article. Title of Newsletter. Year Month Day of publication;volume(issue):pages. or

Number. Author AA. Title of article. Title of Newsletter [Internet]. Year Month Day of publication [cited Year Month Day];volume(issue):pages. Available from: http://xxxxx''

Please cease disruptive editing I encourage you to review Wikipedia Guidelines to aid you in becoming being a better and more professional editor. Additional I encourage you to create a user account rather add unsubstantiated content to articles. If not, like the previous IP you will find that your IP may get blocked from editing as well.
