Former/Defunct

Hi All- I'm wondering what the difference is between "former" and "defunct" railways. In particular, when should a railway be described as former versus defunct in a short description? Pencilsforall (talk) 04:44, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Pencilsforall Hi, sorry for the late reply. I think I prefer defunct for railways that are no longer operating, track removed etc as opposed to former. This is entirely my personal preference and not rooted in any Wiki policy or guideline. My rationale is that the word former can also apply to something that still exists, but used to be, or was called, something else: Leeds and Bradford Railway (now largely the Airedale line), or RAF Church Fenton, now Leeds East Airport. Although, I bet I have contravened myself somewhere and used Former rather than Defunct. Regards. The joy of all things (talk)

I do like that definition - defunct = has ceased to exist; former = has been absorbed into / has become... Another way to express the later more clearly would be "previously known as..." 10mmsocket (talk) 18:04, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

We also have synonyms like disused, abandoned, unused, closed, shut, etc. Love it when English has too many synonyms, can't agree for other languages. I think its just whatever the editor chooses. JuniperChill (talk) 18:46, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Czechoslovak class 475.1 steam locos

I have been reading about these 4-8-2 locos, "arguably one of the most technically advanced steam locos of the post WW2 years". Apparently a further 25 were built for North Korea in 1951.

We don't seem to have an article on them - or have I missed one by another title? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:29, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

I formally propose that we automate link updates or shut down the Recent changes subpage, most links have not been updated there in 18 years. Cards84664 20:23, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
