Fails WP:NLIST - I cannot find any independent reliable sources talking about this set of rolling stock as a group. The current sources are all self-published and of questionable reliability. A simplified, well-sourced table at Portland and Western Railroad that simply lists the quantity of each locomotive class would be more appropriate. Pi.1415926535 ( talk) 07:45, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. I previously removed such a list from the Portland and Western Railroad article for being sourced exclusively to self-published railfan sites, and rather than finding proper sourcing an editor decided to make it into its own article, which doesn't fix the underlying problem. If there is no reliable sourcing available, then the content shouldn't be on Wikipedia at all. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 01:34, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
