[edit] Removed text
I removed:
- During World War II, service was suspended in response to reports that it was a prime target of Nazi saboteurs.
since it is not correct as written. The Curve was heavily used during wartime. It is possible that service was at some point briefly suspended to allow for sabotage checks, but the above is a misstatement. —Morven 00:01, Nov 3, 2004 (UTC)
A similar line was put back in, but it really didn't read well. I corrected the grammar on it, but I'm not sure of its validity. Do we have a reference for it somewhere? slambo 11:53, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Why?
The article never says why the Horseshoe Curve was built, as opposed to a more gradual curve or a tunnel, and why it was never replaced with something that would have allowed faster travel.Mareino 21:05, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Broken Link
Railroad city link is broken. --Railsmart 17:12, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
"Arnold" link leads to disambiguation page, with no clear destination --Paul Schaffert 3:18, 3 March 2006 (GMT)
