Sakuradani Light Railway

I am very interested in jp:桜谷軽便鉄道 and hope that someone could translate at least parts of this article into Sakuradani Light Railway. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 17:43, 13 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

I had a look at the Japanese wiki article and there are serious problems with it. Apart from being almost completely unreferenced, the second sentence says "The information written here is generally unofficial; please refer to the railway's official website for details." So I can't see any point in translating it.

The other problem is that, if the Japanese article is true, this is a 150m long garden railway that someone has built as a hobby and visitors are allowed to drive the trains. I haven't looked for sources, but to be honest, my initial guess is that this article will struggle to pass our notability and sourcing requirements.

Thank you for these very helpful comments. The official website doesn't seem to be very informative either. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 05:08, 21 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
