Article fails GNG. There are three unique references. Two are simply lists that mention the locomotive without any SIGCOV. The third source is a SELFPUB blog that also lacks SIGCOV (part of what the source is used to verify is actually referencing a reply to the linked blog post). This is a non-notable train article by an IP who has used multiple GAMING and socking tactics across multiple drafts and AfDs. ~ Pbritti (talk) 23:09, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. SIGCOV is clearly lacking. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 01:45, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge (a summary of)( the parts that can be verified to Portland and Western Railroad#Locomotive fleet. There is no evidence of independent notability, but equally there is no reason this cannot be included as part of the broader article per WP:PRESERVE.

• Delete' Individual Locomotive that didn't really have a notable life. This article isn't worth keeping around at all. BigSneeze444 (talk) 20:07, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
