Confusing

Someone with a really bored i/2 day should put this in alphabetical order - it would reflect better on the project - I will if no-one takes the challenge - but maybe not for a while - someone beat me to it? SatuSuro 08:46, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I had thought that a bit of pruning might be in order too to find editors who are no longer active in the project. Slambo (Speak) 16:34, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It would be very interesting to find areas of interest as well - for a west australian interested suddenly in south african railways (albeit briefly) it would be interesting to have areas of interest clarified as well... SatuSuro 01:15, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Draft Help: Ceres Rail Company (South African Heritage Railway Operator)

Hello WikiProject Trains members,

My username is Simon Le May Beckett, and I am the managing director of Ceres Rail Company. I fully disclose this conflict of interest on my user page per WP:COI and WP:PAID. As an insider, I won't create or edit the article myself but am seeking neutral volunteers to help draft a Wikipedia page for this notable South African heritage railway operator. It fits well within the project's scope on railway companies, passenger trains, and locomotives. Ceres Rail Company specializes in vintage steam train excursions through the Western Cape, preserving South Africa's rail heritage while boosting tourism. Key highlights from independent sources include: * Weekend passenger trips from Cape Town to the Elgin Railway Market (160 km round-trip via Sir Lowry's Pass), using restored Class 19D steam locomotives. * Weekday freight operations under Transnet concessions. * Recognized as "Best Adventure Experience" in the KFM Best of the Cape Awards for 2023 and 2024. * Featured in media for its role in heritage preservation amid challenges like sourcing spare parts for aging engines. Reliable, independent sources available (I can share full links/PDFs if needed): * Africanews feature (April 2025): In-depth article on steam heritage journeys, operations, and cultural impact – [1]. * KFM Best of the Cape Awards announcements (2023 & 2024): Coverage of the win in tourism categories. * Cape Town Magazine profile: Details on routes and tourism contributions. * Additional: YouTube documentary-style video on the Elgin route (April 2025) and SA-Venues.com listing for context. I'd be happy to provide a fact sheet, more sources, or clarifications on technical details (e.g., locomotive specs) to ensure accuracy. The goal is a neutral AfC submission following WP:TWP/MOS—similar to articles on Rovos Rail or the Outeniqua Transport Museum. If anyone from the Locomotives or Passenger trains task forces is interested, or if this could be added to the To-do list, please let me know. Thanks in advance for considering this—excited to collaborate! Simon Le May Beckett (talk) 10:15, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
