Merge from Railway trip stop[edit]

Strong agree. Trip stop and train stop are really the same thing so there should be just one article. When I started the Railway trip stop article, I searched for an existing article on the topic and did not find one. User:Signalhead correctly points out this Train stop article. I will wait a week or so to see if there are any opposing opinions. Assuming there are none, I will then endeavor to merge the two articles together into one, as this Train stop article. When that is completed, the Railway trip stop article should be redirected to this one. I may need some help with that, I haven't redirected before. Truthanado 00:24, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, you could probably go ahead and do this straight away. I don't think you will meet any opposition, especially as you are the only editor of Railway trip stop and it is a very new article. With regard to redirects, see Help:Redirect, but basically you just delete all the content and have #REDIRECT[[pagename]] as the first line. →Ollie (talk • contribs) 00:41, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing no objections, the articles have been merged and the Railway trip stop article redirected here. Truthanado 00:24, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Improvements wanted[edit]

Please feel free to add to this article. Some of the improvements it could use are:

picture of a train stop mechanism and the trip arm
picture of the trip cock on the train
more references
more locations where train stops are used

Thanks for helping add to knowledge about railway signaling. Truthanado 00:24, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have added a clear photo of the signal and train stop, and a okay one of the trip cock on a train - next time I am out I will zoom in more. Here in Melbourne we use train stops, and the rail network is almost all above ground. We have 'fixed train stops' as well. ;-) Wongm (talk) 14:50, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
