The result was redirect to Rail transport. Consensus is not to have this as a separate article until it's shown to be notable. The two "keep" opinions do not address the notability concerns at all and are therefore discounted (see User:Sandstein/AfD closing) Sandstein 07:17, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Existed for ~2 years. No evidence of notability - seems extremely unlikely to have been or be notable. I should note that List of railroad-related periodicals already covers the basic details.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Oranjblud (talk • contribs) 17:17, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep as part of a WP:POINTy WP:IDONTLIKEIT campaign by the nominator - PRODding 42 articles in less than an hour is not evidence of good faith or following WP:BEFORE. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 19:12, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There's nothing in the article to suggest this became notable in any way in the 2 years it existed in the early 70s. Suggest a redirect to List of railroad-related periodicals, where it's already mentioned. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:05, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Rail transport. This is a plausible search term and should not be deleted. If someone finds independent sources for Trains and Railways the magazine, then the content would belong in Trains and Railways (magazine) (and will be available in the history to work from), but the principle of least astonishment says "trains and railways" should point to "rail transport".—S Marshall T/C 22:51, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
