Why are backslashes used here?  Off hand, it looks like typos, but I don't want to "correct" these without confirmation that these are not deliberate.  --Bletch 13:02, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The text says that there are ten operational lines, but the map shows six, some of which contain branches. This needs to be corrected.--Redaktor 14:41, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  New line's map 

message: Please people, these images aren't fair use and shouldn't even be here. I have left a message on the original uploader's talk page (for the 'future map' image). If it's that important and no one can create a map using the station templates on Wikipedia, I will be glad to create a vector-based map for both present and future. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 17:06, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  This article should be re-writed 

message: I think this article should be split into Israel Railways and Rail transport in Israel. There are several reasons for this:
* Much of the history of rail transport in Israel (pre-state) is not directly relevant to Israel Railways
* Israel Railways, while still a clear monopoly, is not responsible for everything railway-related anymore, especially railway development and light rail
* Wikipedia conventions, where each country has an article Rail transport in Country
* There is enough info on each topic to warrant a separate article, and in fact in the current format it seems silly to add stuff like the Israel Railways management structure, which would be much more logical for an article just about the company
Opinions are welcome. —Ynhockey (Talk) 19:01, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Press reports indicate completion of reconstruction of the Jezreel Valley Railway, with Israel Railways apparently planning to open that line for revenue service in October 2016.  See http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4835917,00.html.  Based on that information, the narrative and maps for this webpage will need to be updated once the line enters service.One-Off Contributor (talk) 20:52, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

message: This article only seems to mention passenger lines and services. Do the Israel Railways handle freight traffic, and if so, what sorts of freight traffic are handled and where to and from? How much of their traffic is freight and how much is passenger? 124.168.134.73 (talk) 10:42, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a bit of information on freight, like in the Performance section. It covers much of what you asked. I think it would be great to add information about IR's main freight customers (there aren't many), but I don't have this information. To answer your question though, most of the freight traffic in Israel goes to/from the ports of Ashdod and Haifa, as well as garbage for disposal in the south of the country. —Ynhockey (Talk) 14:53, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  most freight are bulk commodities (like minerals). There are plans to build a rail line to Eilat, Israel's Red Sea port, which would enable a similar role for Israel in bypassing the Suez Canal as the U.S. has in bypassing the Panama Canal but to my knowledge those plans are not anywhere near the top of the priority list. It would also be interesting to know about loading gauges, whether they allow for rolling highway with all types of truck and so on. I assume double-stack rail transport is right out, but then the Dutch Betuweroute was built in such a way as to enable it in the future and maybe there are similar plans in Israel...

message: The list of accidents is dominated by accidents at level crossings. I don't think those are particularly notable and I don't think they should be listed here. What do you think? Hobbitschuster (talk) 15:31, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
