The Rail transport in Germany task force is a group of Wikipedia editors working on articles related to Rail transport in Germany. Many are translated from German Wikipedia (why re-invent the wheel?) and may cover other German-speaking areas as well, such as Austria. Please feel free to join us by adding your name and area of interest below. We need folk to help with translating, proof-reading, assessing, editing and categorising; in fact and anyone with an interest in this fascinating subject who is willing to dip in and help from time to time.
