Talk:List of shortline railroads in the United States by state

Disney Railroads? edit

Why are the Disneyland and Disney World railroads included in the shortlines list? Since they are not common carrier roads, wouldn't they be exempt from any sort of FRA recognition in the "Class" system? They would be considered private railroads at best, and not shortlines at all.

While some private railroads still count as shortlines and have reporting marks, (ending in X indicating they aren't a common carrier, for instance the Milford-Bennington Railroad, reporting mark MBRX) I don't believe the same can be said for the Disney railroads. They don't show up on Railserve's reporting mark list either. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 20:19, 2 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
