This article is REFBOMBed, but lacks actual notability. The only non-trivial coverage seems to be the website of the organization that owns the locomotive - and even that only amounts to a paragraph. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 06:24, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

 * As I stated when declining this at AfC in September, there really hasn't been any demonstration of notability. The Diesel Era source is the only one that might give points towards GNG, but considering it was about the entire class of hundreds of locomotives, I strongly doubt we have any credit towards GNG here. As such, I am a delete. I would not object to a redirect to Niles Canyon Railway. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 13:57, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. This is one of many articles by the same IP which shows clear GAMING. ~ Pbritti (talk) 05:02, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete and Salt per nom. I couldn't find any signs that it meets of WP:GNG. I would also suggest making it harder to resurrect given the behaviour detailed in the discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. TarnishedPathtalk 07:25, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
