Additional references[edit]

I have done a thorough web search and now I am guessing that some of the missing references will only be in the printed literature. Is anyone able to download this file? --NearEMPTiness (talk) 16:18, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Step by step decomissioning[edit]

Who finds some references about the following facts:

The section of the track south of Brownsweg and the cable car were decommissioned much earlier than the remainder of the track anytime after 1937.^[1]^[2]

The Vaillantsplein station in downtown Paramaribo was relocated to Beekhuizen in 1958. In 1961 the track was shortened to Onverwacht. NearEMPTiness (talk) 10:27, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Accuracy of the mile markers[edit]

Distances are given to three decimals, which is odd because they only have two digits. Any reason not to remove the spurious 0's? Maury Markowitz (talk) 18:46, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It appears someone changed this? Maury Markowitz (talk) 16:30, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
