Pittsburgh and Ohio Central is the full name of the railroad, should Pittsburgh and Ohio be wikified? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jimktrains (talkcontribs) .

No, in general we don't make parts of the subject name into links to other articles. Take a look at other articles about US railroads such as those listed on the Class III navbox shown below: {{US class 3}} Slambo (Speak) 13:41, 1 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
Sorry about not signing...Anyway, I was wondering because someone else made them so and I didn't just want to change them back without checking first. --Jimktrains 15:01, 1 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Merger

edit
  • 'No Merger' As long as one of these short-lived short lines had some sort of independent existence, it would be a good idea to keep them separate. The separate articles are useful in figuring out the evolution of larger railroads, and may be useful for historical, legal, and genealogical reasons.

I agree. The complexity of the short-line railroad industry is too great to merge articles like this one into other articles. --DThomsen8 (talk) 14:11, 10 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
