Talk:Rail transport in Queensland

message: I think this should only have a small mention on this page, the main content living on the Queensland Rail article. Otherwise we get bogged down maintaining two sets of contents. Dunno how cut back it needs to be, perhaps saying it will be divided into two, QR Passenger says government owned and the freight side is being sold in the IPO? Wongm (talk) 12:43, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I was moving the full details on the float here with leaving only a summary on the QR page as per WP:SUMMARY. Since the History section in QR is getting too long. Gerry (talk) 12:50, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the details of the float should be over on the QR page, the history section over there is a bit too long, with some of the more general 'opening of lines' type stuff a better fit here. Wongm (talk) 23:17, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point, I agree. Gerry (talk) 04:22, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

text: Wongm, I have moved the Public float to its own article, since this event will form a big part of both Queensland Rail's and QR National's history in the future. I also placed a pointer to it from both Queensland Rail's and QR National's articles. Gerry (talk) 10:39, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

message: The line reading "Queensland Railways sold the line in 1964 to the Gin Gin Cooperative Mill " is inappropriate or irrelevant to this context because there is nothing in the article that tells me what "the line" is. PatrickDunfordNZ (talk) 20:15, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have not precisely identified the line but I have done some tidying up. Biscuittin (talk) 22:35, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I notice that :Category:Queensland locomotives now has several locos that are not listed on this page.  Should they all be included here? If not perhaps at the top of the list a sentence could be added describing why these ones are specifically included. - Shiftchange (talk) 23:57, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the unlisted locos are all steam locos which are no longer in service.  I could make it clearer by changing the article names from "locomotive" to "steam locomotive". Alternatively, we could have separate categories for "steam locos" and "diesel locos" or for "current locos" and "past locos". Please discuss. Biscuittin (talk) 22:26, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I have now changed the categories to match :Category:Western Australian locomotives. The :Category:Queensland locomotives now contains only diesel and electric locos and I have created a new :Category:Queensland steam locomotives for the steam locos. The :Category:Locomotives used in Queensland still contains both steam and diesel but I wonder whether we really need this category. Biscuittin (talk) 13:48, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Category:Locomotives used in Queensland seems to be superfluous. I like the division by type. - Shiftchange (talk) 14:13, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Could this section tell us what track gauge(s) are in use in Qld? Three paras and not much info. Bleakcomb (talk) 17:23, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

message: There has been some difference of opinion as to what format the Services by platforms section should take for SE Queensland station articles. Think it prudent to try and gain a consensus, and raise any concerns or areas for refinement editors may have, so a consistent format can be rolled out:
Four formats currently being used (there may be others):
Format A 
Format B 
Format C 
Format D 
===Voting===
*Format D as it is clear & concise Coomera81 (talk) 22:01, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment It does seem to be common in articles in other places eg, Redfern railway station & Perth railway station. Agree it should be kept at a high level and not include special circumstances info, or info that is specific to a particular timetable, bearing in mind we are not trying to create a travel guide. By having a link to the TransLink page for each platform, the reader can drill down for the detail. Coomera81 (talk) 07:20, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment There are some cases at certain train stations around the country where a limited amount of services may depart out of Platform X at evening peak periods, whilst at other times, they depart out of Platform Y.  However, I do agree the occasional departure out of Platforms (due to extreme circumstances such as a dewirement) should not be mentioned. (For example a Caboolture service leaving out of Northgate Platform 1, due to a broken down train blocking Platform 4 is not notable). Coastie43 (talk) 07:52, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
