Talk:Yosemite Valley Railroad

Latest comment: 1 year ago by Trainsandotherthings in topic Did you know nomination

Made numerous changes: Completely rewrote the first paragraph for correctness. Deleted the third paragraph as it was mostly incorrect and did not think that the remainder of the paragraph made sense in the article. Added the last line about notable visitors, which is not necessary but in my view interesting. Made a few spelling and factual changes in the second paragraphMouborg (talk) 03:10, 10 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Deleted third paragraph as it was superfluous, in my opinion, and incorrect in the fact that stating railroad tunnels were used as road tunnels. (There are in fact no tunnels at all on 140 as well as the fact that the Highway runs on the opposite side of the river of the railroad). 06:57, 17 November 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mouborg (talkcontribs)
