[edit] Task Forces

[edit] Infoboxes

All systems and lines should have their own infobox, and also any stations that are kept. Information can be found on the internet, or by visiting the spot, or on the current pages.

  • All station infoboxes should contain an image of (one of) the entire platform (where possible), scaled to about 300-310px (to fit the box).
  • All lines should feature either a diagram using the images, or an official image from an official map.

All rolling stock articles should have their own infobox.
