Talk:Railroad car/Archive 1

message: I just reverted Patrick's recent edit since in my opinion the added sentence confused the issue further rather than clarifying.  I'll see if I can word things better if I have time later on today (or someone else can feel free). —Morven 16:58, 25 May 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Military cars 

message: I thought we called "items of rolling stock" railway carriages or just carriages? 
That's what I and many others in Australia have always called them, and I would assume the same for the UK, Ireland, New Zealand, etc. 203.164.184.10 13:02, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name in English outside North America 

message: It seems that the article is a small stub, and talks about the same subject as this article (Railroad car). Moreover,  links to this article with a link captioned 'rolling stock'. I think this should be amended. Either the other article should be turned into a redirect, or it should be expanded and the link on the template should be changed. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 11:13, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

# I must say, I oppose this move. I've never even heard the term rolling stock before. Per WP:ENGVAR, we use the term first coined when the article was created, unless you can give a significant reason why not. Part Deux 07:23, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Survey - in opposition to the move

message: Discussion moved here from the article:
:Auto Trains.  A comfortable, affordable way to travel with your car.  Avoiding traffic tieups and high gasoline costs, they offer either sleeping quarters or couchettes for long trips. While available in Europe they are not yet in service in the United States except in Washington, D.C. and some parts of Florida and Virginia.  Why?  Possibly because car rental in the United States is relatively cheap (around $40 or less per day in most areas), and the distances traveled are more suitably covered by air travel.  Also, passenger rail service is not very popular in the United States.
Further discussion should take place here.  If an encyclopedic and well referenced paragraph can be made of this, then it could be added to the article in a more appropriate location. Slambo (Speak) 19:12, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Last comment is incorrect. Merseyrail describe their train formations as either 3 or 6 car on their information displays at stations.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stethomson90 (talk • contribs) 16:04, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
