@ChessEric: I don't believe the video of the grade crossing incident should be listed in the external links (and per WP:ELBURDEN, it should not be re-added unless there is consensus). Incidents of trains striking vehicles at grade crossings are sadly common. This was not a particularly significant incident; the number of injuries was small, and the degree of derailment appears to be minimal given the wording of the sources. It would not pass notability as a separate article, nor does it come anywhere near meriting inclusion in our list article. Aside from that, a video of a single incident is not particularly relevant to the article as a whole; ELs should be about the article topic or major elements of it. The video is also mediocre quality and hosted by a clickbait channel, rather than a professional news organization. Because of the latter point, it would not qualify as a reliable source.

@Pi.1415926535: I agree you on that front: I honestly That being said, I still believe there should SOME sort of link to this accident that shows the video. The video may have been of mediocre quality, but at least there is one. (many grade crossings do not) This is also, my hometown train, so I'm a little more sensitive on edits of this train in particular. Yes, it was stupid to add that video as external link, but I didn't know where else to put it.

By the way, unrelated to your discussion, I REALLY like your user name. XD ChessEric (talk · contribs) 21:48, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
