Is "Swiss Northeastern Railway" just Wikipedia's literal translation of "Schweizerische Nordostbahn" or is it used elsewhere? All references on this page seem to be in German and much found elsewhere based on this article. If the name can't be referenced, the article should probably at Schweizerische Nordostbahn or Schweizerische Nordostbahn-Gesellschaft. Enhancing999 (talk) 19:55, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

No, it's the name used in English sources e.g. Mieg and Oevermann (2014) "...Escher played a crucial role as the main director of the Swiss Northeastern Railway, founded in 1853"; Engineering, Vol. 13 (1872). "Locomotive for the Swiss North-Eastern Railway"; Jung (2022) "Founded specifically to support the Swiss Northeastern Railway (Schweizerische Nordostbahn)..." and many others. I'll add a reference.

Thanks. Good idea to start at Escher. Swiss National Railway, Swiss Central Railway, United Swiss Railways have the same lack of references for the English name. Enhancing999 (talk) 21:19, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
