Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Caledonian Railway

Hi, does your source really say 1118 miles 7913 chains? I find that very odd, as there are 80 chains to the mile - 7913 chains is almost 99 miles. --Redrose64 🦌 (talk) 18:25, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing those out. I've corrected them now. Madfly2 (talk) 19:35, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Also, is the London and South Western Railway length really more than 5 million miles? --Redrose64 🦌 (talk) 18:30, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
