Here are some more suggestions to help you wikify the rail transport articles that you are creating:

1. Add infobox
   City of New Orleans
   for example).
2. Add {{TrainsWikiProject|class=|importance=}} to the talk page to add the page to
   Wikipedia:WikiProject Trains/Manual of style
   ).
3. Add inbound links (e.g.
   City of Miami
   ).
4. Add appropriate external links (see
   WP:EXT
   ).
5. Add references (as noted above).
6. Categorize (e.g. Category:Rail transport in the United States by state, Category:Illinois Central Railroad etc.)
7. Add images (see [1], etc.)

Happy editing! --Kkmurray (talk) 16:22, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
