2007 Ridgewood Junction Train Derailment

 * – ( View AfD View log )

With one exception, the entries in Category:Railway accidents in 2007 involved fatalities with extensive numbers of injuries; the other was for an incident that involved toxic cargo on a freight train. This incident had no deaths and no injuries and doesn't seem to have any lingering impact in the 14 years since it occurred. Nor do I see any other article that would be a target for a merge.

 * While one can understand the possible reluctance to include an article on something of such obscurity, it must be noted that the unique nature of the accident and the regarded local significance by certain individuals make this interesting incident worth recording. Furthermore, the response of NJ Transit at the time is important to contrast with the procedures of today and therefore help provide what I believe to be an interesting insight into the past of NJ Transit. If the issue is about a relevant article to merge it with, I can easily create a Ridgewood Junction article, but that would take some time to create. In the end, if the article is deleted I understand. --NJT5119 03:22, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
