Comment: See WP:ANI#Australian railroad IP, The proposal to block the person editing from IP's with this behaviour and delete their future drafts/articles is supported and carried. Practically speaking, this amounts to a site ban; any IP address that geolocates appropriately and engages in "dubious notability, ref-bombing, fixation on American locomotives of a certain era" can be blocked for a period of time on sight, and their edits reverted and/or deleted. Their edits to AfD discussions can also be reverted on the same basis. Note that articles/drafts created prior to this closure cannot be deleted per this clause, for the same reason that G5 deletions only apply from the point where an editor is banned. I will block the most recently-used IP for 3 months. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 00:21, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

The EMD GP35R is a rebuild from five EMD GP35 diesel locomotives that were originally built between 1963 and 1966, with one being rebuilt by the Southern Pacific Transportation Company and the remaining four being rebuilt by the St. Louis Southwestern Railway (also known as the "Cotton Belt Route").[1]
History edit
Beginning in 1977, the Southern Pacific Transportation Company had rebuilt one EMD GP35 into a GP35R as they wanted to experiment using one GP35 to be operated as a non-turbocharged locomotive, and the rebuild was done at their own Sacramento Shops while the rest of their rebuilt GP35s were turbocharged and designated as the EMD GP35E.[1][2]
Meanwhile, the St. Louis Southwestern Railway (also known as the "Cotton Belt Route"), had rebuilt four of their GP35s as they were willing to do the same thing that the Southern Pacific Transportation Company was doing, which was to do an experiment by using four of their own GP35s to be operated as non-turbocharged locomotives.[1][2]
