Copy Edits, etc.

I did various corrections which could qualify as copy-edits and also Wikifying. Such as:

• Insert "the" every so often.
• Remove links from section heading and opening sentence.
• Rework a sentence or two to be more readable.
• Remove second and subsequent links to the same place (there were many, so I may have missed some). I don't know if this is policy, but it does get a bit distracting when every mention of "Russia", "Russian", "Prussia", etc., is linked. It seems to be that the convention is to link only the first occurrence of a word. Is that right?
• Remove the phrase "due to purchase of the larger number of shares". I was at a loss as to how to phrase this properly so I just took it out - someone else may do better at it.
• The last two paragraphs of the Warsaw — Vienna line section need to be reworked, but it's not just a question of grammar, there is a semantic problem, and I don't know enough of the subject to work out exactly what was meant (or maybe I'm just tired, I'll give it a try again if no one else has done anything).

I only got as far as the above section, and will give it another go later ... Peashy 12:17, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

• I attempted the cleanup of the above last two pargraphs, I think they read better now.
• The sentence about the dismissal of the Catholic Poles seems out of place; it may be important, but would be better in a discussion around the management of the building rather than in the timeline.

Now completed to the end of Prussian lines.

• I don't know what the last sentence of this section means, and so have left it, but it should be clarified. Peashy 11:55, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Standardization of gauge on major routes after 1918-21

Something on this topic would be useful. Presuambly someone has expert knowledge of this. Norvo (talk) 07:11, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

The number on the front beginning with a Cyrillic P it is a Russian engine, obviously. Thus, unless running on Warzaw & Viena rails, it must be wide gauge. In old East Prussia wide gauge only existed on border stations. The present wide gauge network in Kaliningrad oblast is the product of the adaption to Soviet rail since 1945. Therefore, the title wants a proof.--Ulamm (talk) 15:44, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

rolling stock of the Warsaw–Vienna in WW I

How could the rolling stock of Warsaw–Vienna Rail and Warsaw–Bydgoszcz Rail be relocated to Russia in a hurry? They had European standard gauge.--Ulamm (talk) 19:42, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Structure of this article

With Warsaw–Vienna Railway geographically situated in Russian Poland as well as Cracow–Upper Silesian Railway (also a genuine Polish enterprise) in Austrain Poland, called Galicia and Lodomiria, the present semi-regional structure of the presentation is not useful. I'd prefere an almost chronolocical structure, but I refuse to do the work of a complete restructuration.--Ulamm (talk) 17:28, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

'White spots' in history

There is anything about closing of local lines in 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s, and anything about lines stealed by Red Army in 1945 and 1946. It all looks like railways in Poland was only developed, but there is anything about decline of railway net and decreasing number of lines which was closed and demounted since last 40 years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.254.253.18 (talk) 23:02, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
