Western Maryland Scenic Railroad 734Lake Superior & Ishpeming 734 – Per. Beconrase, convention for preserved individual locomotives is to use their main service, not preserved operator as evidenced by Category:Individual locomotives of the United States. A similar discussion is in progress for the page about Western Maryland Scenic Railroad 1309. Davidng913 (talk) 02:25, 15 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

There is no need to redirect this page as “Lake Superior and Ishpeming 734”. Not only does the “&” in the page title seem old fashioned, compared to “and”, but whether we like it or not, this particular locomotive is permanently masqueraded as Western Maryland 734. I would rather keep these pages named, out of respect for their current owners. If people wanna find out where these locomotives came from, that’s what the history sections are for.

Oppose, per above. The pages about the Strasburg locomotives remain as the only exceptions. Davidng913 (talk) 18:58, 15 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
