Motivation

RailScot (Q113083146) is a long-standing website with over 78,000 images related to rail transport, and extensive information about rail-related locations and historical companies, with a pricipal focus on Scotland but also a fair amount of content relating to elsewhere in the British Isles, and further afield.

As noted above, it should be possible to match many items relatively rapidly via UK railway station code (P4755) and Canmore ID (P718) codes. The links for bridges, tunnels, and viaducts would be an especially useful addition, as well as those for stations. These will be valuable external links to be add to infoboxes on Commons. The site also has useful coverage of railway works, colliery mines, etc.

A companion property is proposed for historical railway companies, which the site also has extensive coverage of. Jheald (talk) 15:41, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
