Green Rail Transportation

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. No reason to doubt that this is an "emerging field" as the article states, but the term itself has apparently not found its way into the jargon of railroad engineers yet. Delete.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 21:47, 27 June 2009 (UTC)


 * KeepYes, but if just the "green railroading technology" bolded print on the first line is deleted, then the article still holds relevance as a general overview of environmentally friendly trains, without the jargon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bryceflorek (talk • contribs) 21:55, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Let's say. But what do your sources say the field is called by railroad engineers? That is, if they even give it a name. Please do not use Wikipedia to coin new terms. Wait until they are coined and widely accepted elsewhere. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 22:01, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * all of my sources have so far referred to it as an "emerging green technology" or simply said modern trains are 'green' —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bryceflorek (talk • contribs) 22:07, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Vague terms that could also apply to air travel, logging, waste water treatment, you name it. Nothing specific to rail technology in terms of nomenclature. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 22:11, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, but this one is specified to be about Rail transportation, due to the fact that there are numerous efforts to reduce carbon emissions from trains due to their high work load. The information about these efforts are currently scattered about Wikipedia, all I am doing is starting a template to include the current information, as well as new relevant information to one centralized location.  Its not like I'm coining new terms I invented, I'm merely adding a header to a page that includes correlating information.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bryceflorek (talk • contribs) 22:23, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
