Boone, Rockwell City & Northwestern Railway
The Boone, Rockwell City & Northwestern Railway article you contributed seems to be essentially the same as the FtDDM&S article taken from the Chicago & North Western Historical Society site. The article has the exact same copyright problem. • Gene93k 16:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The articles Newton and Northwestern Railroad, Boone Valley Coal & Railway, and Marshalltown and Dakota Railroad also appear to be copies of the FtDDM&S article, with the same copyright problems. All four articles will be marked for speedy deletion as copyright violations. • Gene93k 17:21, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
