Talk:San Bernardino train disaster

Photo Gallery (no photo)

I was looking to add some cites to this article. Actually I intend to greatly expand it in the future, but for now I'll add the cites, and someday later I'll read those cites and then update the text. As always, my web searching led mostly to WikiClones and a brief paragraph with no meat at a dozen sites. But After an hour of search I had come up with two cites to add to the one NTSB cite (I found clones of that, too). I didn't actually link them to text, but that will come later.

So anyway, I came up with a dilemma. There's a site called TrainWeb that hosts train websites. They don't produce content, they just give webspace to various railroad hobbyists. Putting that name in the cite would as useful as saying Geocities. So I want to cite the hobbyist who put up the page. If the home page said Kern Junction Railroad Club, I would just say that, and be done with it. However, the actual name is Kern Junction Railroad Photo Gallery. This site has pictures of a memorial at the Tehachapi Loop, along with text explaining the incident. It's very meaty piece of text, apparently written by someone with direct contacts. I certainly want to cite this site, but if someone sees "Photo Gallery" and clicks it expecting to see train wreck photos, they'll be sadly disappointed. So I added "Note: No relevant photos at this site." The problem is this is calling the memorial irrelevant. So I'm insensitive. I invite anyone to make it better (but don't delete these two cites I dug up). -- Randall Bart <wiki@randallbart.com> 23:53, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
