Talk:Pelgorskoye peat railway

garbled sentence

@NGREU: The second sentence in this article is garbled, possibly because of cut-and-paste errors:

The peat railway was opened in 1950, and has a total length of 20 kilometres (12 mi) is currently operational, the track gauge is 750 mm (2 ft 5 1⁄2 in).

Showing the apparent structure:

The peat railway

• was opened in 1950, and
• has a total length of 20 kilometres (12 mi)
• is currently operational
• the track gauge is 750 mm (2 ft 5 1⁄2 in)

What is currently operational? The whole railway? A part of it? "The peat railway" is the subject of "was" and "has", but "is" has no subject.

In a list-like sentence like this one, the reader would expect something like, perhaps

... and has a total length of 20 kilometres (12 mi), of which 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) is currently operational,

One possible form of rewrite would be

The peat railway was opened in 1950, and . It has a total length of 20 kilometres (12 mi), of which 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) is currently operational, the and a track gauge is of 750 millimetres (2 ft 5+1⁄2 in).
