Category:Defunct railroad companies of the United States

Found linked to RfD, should be here. Noel 00:09, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

KEEP. There are hundreds of possible entries in here eventually. I can think of several that belong here: Little Miami Railroad, Middletown and Cincinnati Railroad, New York Central, Pennsylvania Railroad. I know there is a category of defunct companies and perhaps it should be a sub-category of that. PedanticallySpeaking 15:00, Oct 25, 2004 (UTC)
Keep--Josiah 23:38, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Looks like a "keep" to me. -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 23:42, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I don't care enough to put it back for RfD, but it seems like a possible candidate not because it will be too small, but because it will be way too big. At least in Florida, in the late 1800s, about 10 railroad companies were chartered every two years. Maybe it should be split by state; this division makes sense even though many crossed state lines because they had to be chartered in each state. --SPUI 02:39, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
