History gives basically the same thing as the article does in one paragraph. XXCooksterXx (talk) 01:00, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

There's some operations on former Milwaukee Road territory in South Dakota as well. I agree that the article has written is terrible and could be redirected or deleted. Let me see if I can salvage it. Mackensen (talk) 11:06, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Could we get a consensus of people to come and give their opinion? I suggest we take the bits of information thats useful on here and just merge it into the Dakota Rail Trail History section. XXCooksterXx (talk) 20:20, 3 May 2018 (UTC) XXCooksterXx (talk) 20:20, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

I think I have enough sources to justify a standalone article. If I do, I'll expand this article remove the PROD. At that point, if you still think the article should be merged/deleted, you can nominate at WP:AFD, which will bring it before a wider audience. Mackensen (talk) 21:21, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

We should just merge the two articles. There is a confusion between this Dakota Rail Inc and the Dakota Rail Inc that was a predecessor to the predecessor of the Sisseton Milbank Railroad. Who could i message for said merger to occur if PROD does not go through? Ill help clean the article up using a template commonly used in south dakota railroad pages if you want. Contact me at my talk page for discussions. xXCooksterXx (talk) 21;39, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

@XXCooksterXx: They're the same company. If you still want to suggest a merge, you can follow the steps at WP:MERGEINIT. Personally I think a merge would be inappropriate, given the coverage the company received and the South Dakota operations. Mackensen (talk) 22:25, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Since you seem to have found information on this, could you help me out at List of South Dakota railroads? I need help getting articles created on railroads that are defunct. It would help a bunch. Thanks for the help on this one. xXCooksterXx (talk) 22:47, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
