I'm in the middle of copyediting several articles on German localities, railroads, etc. so I'm feeling a bit too lazy to go through this one myself. The most important issue is in the beginning; the article referes to the railway in the past tense, as if it had been taken out of use. The rest of the article, as well as the Breckerfeld article (which I'm editing now), refer to it as if it exists currently.

There seems to be a whole host of articles that, as far as I can tell, are loose translations from the German wikipedia. The last one I checked was the Breckerfeld article -- I don't speak German, but the parts in the English version of the article that were syntactically awkward had what looked like the same word order as in the German one. (I apologize for that wordy sentencee. I hope it made sense.) At least it gives those of us who like copyediting something to do. =) - Christiant 21:17, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

BTW, the last line before the external links section is really neat in its nonsense-ness. =) Christiant
