Talk:Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg Railroad

Large data dump
Whoa, that's a big chunk of text that desperately needs a copyedit. Since it was all added in one edit, I'm a little suspicious of its origins; in other words, it has a slight odor of a copyvio. But, Googling for key phrases doesn't come up with exact matches, so it may be legit. Since I can't verify if it is or isn't a copyvio, I'll assume good faith for now. slambo 17:15, May 11, 2005 (UTC)

I also suspect that this might be a copyvio, but I'm unable to confirm it. I know a good bit of this railroad's history offhand, and the copy seems to be accurate. A cleanup is definitely in order, though. Siliconwafer 00:30, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

After an extensive search, I don't see evidence of a copyvio, so I've gone through with wikification and a copyedit. Check the todolist (above) for tasks that still need to be done. slambo 16:06, May 29, 2005 (UTC)

Railroad name
Watertown and Potsdam Railroad on Google doesn't turn up much. However, Potsdam and Watertown Railroad turns up a lot. I wonder if we've got this backward? Siliconwafer 18:09, 31 May 2005 (UTC)


 * That's quite possible; I don't have a reference handy right now to verify this (other than Google, of course, but you've already done that). As I went through with my copyedit, the text seemed more like a brain dump than anything else, so flipping around one road's name could be believed... slambo 18:49, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

I will work on getting some references, too. --Railsmart

Maps
There are some maps online from 1886 which can be found at:





The second web site includes a full brochre and says that it is available under a creative commons license although given the 1886 date, it should simply be public domain now... Dspark76 (talk) 01:17, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

This edit appears to be copied from  and needs to be paraphrased.--Lucas559 (talk) 23:15, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Rome as Main line is quiet dubious
Even in the 19th century scanned map and timetable provided, the Utica route took a prominent position. By the early decades of the 20th century, under the New York Central, the Main routes, as shown on company timetables, were either the route to Utica or the route to Syracuse. A reference for the claim that Rome was the main line is imperative.Dogru144 (talk) 01:12, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
