Can somebody explain the following sentences, which seem fraught with internal inconsistencies and ambiguities:

The MKB is a co-user of the Zehlendorf Railway in its own right. Rail services, as on other museum railways is not carried out by the MKB, operations are limited to shunting movements. Nevertheless visitors may ride on the vehicles on the museum site.

I suspect this is either the result of machine translation, with some specific German technical terms mis-translated into general English, or perhaps a not particularly well written WP:DE article to start with. To me a shunting movement is a class of railway service, and so is visitors riding vehicles on the museum site. And I'm far from clear as to whether the tracks on the museum site are part of the Zehlendorf Railway or separate.

I guess I could make sense of it by rewriting it as:

The MKB is a co-user of the Zehlendorf Railway, which it uses for shunting movements between parts of its site. However passenger services are restricted to visitors riding on the vehicles within the museum site itself, and do not venture onto the Zehlendorf Railway.

But that is making way too many assumptions for me to feel comfortable amending the article that way. Can anybody help?. -- Starbois (talk) 14:27, 27 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
