Category:Locomotives of the Pennsylvania Railroad |
RENAME per nom, to conform these categories to the standard otherwise observed within Category:Locomotives of the United States. In contrast to the renaming discussion below (which deals with locomotives by country, not by railway as here), none of the other subcategories have been listed for renaming, so the standard cannot be changed here for all of those categories. This close should not be considered a bar to such a rename proposal to change that standard, provided that all affected categories are named and tagged. |
