The Tocopilla railway was a mountain railway built to serve the sodium nitrate mines in the Toco area of the Antofagasta Region in Chile. With a gauge of 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm), it ran from the port of Tocopilla on the Pacific coast up to a height of 4,902 feet (1,494 metres), with gradients up to 1 in 24. The railway was built by a joint-stock company founded in London and was designed by William Stirling of Lima, with a detailed description of the initial operation of the railway published by his brother Robert in 1900. The line was electrified in the mid-1920s and expanded in 1930 with the addition of lines serving new areas of mining. It continued operating into the 21st century, but was forced to close in 2015 when flash flooding caused numerous washouts on the electrified section of the railroad. With the declining prospects for nitrate, it was not economical for the line to be repaired. This photograph taken in 2013 shows a boxcab on the Tocopilla railway, leading a train down towards the coast.Photograph credit: David Gubler

More Hong Tran deletions
Bobblehead, I would appreciate it if, given your previous errors regarding deletions on this page, you would take extra care beforehand in ensuring that any deletions are actually justified and meet a community standard. I would also ask that you reconsider whether you can objectively work on this page and retain a NPOV. Emcee 15:54, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
By being "up on the ebbs and flows of such things," do you mean conforming to the opinions expressed within the past few days on the flagcruft essay? I am well aware of your opinions on Hong Tran's notability, but these were not upheld by the community. Is the answer then to delete any little thing that you can possibly find some kind of grayish support to delete? That certainly wasn't your approach to the Cantwell page. I do have remaining questions about your ability to remain neutral on this piece (bias is not always necessarily intentional, so you don't have to regard this as an accusation of bad faith). Acting "within the bounds of Wiki-policy" is a hazy (and low) bar -- shouldn't we be striving for consensus, and an evenhanded approach to all articles, regardless of our personal feelings about the subjects or other editors? Shouldn't we also be working towards a higher level of civility? It seems that you took offense to my comments above, but I think most readers would regard your response (especially the last couple of lines) as hostile and condescending. Emcee 00:01, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Interesting. And why should I continue to assume good faith, if you are fine with being intentionally hostile and condescending? Emcee 08:25, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Let's keep this focused on the issue here, rather than the "I'm rubber you're glue" thing... which is your hostile and condescending response to my recent comments on your talk page. Even should you choose to interpret my comments as lacking an assumption of good faith (which they do not), why is it OK for you to respond in a hostile and condescending manner? Wouldn't that just tend to escalate any problem that might exist? Emcee 23:26, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Socks
Yeah, that's a good idea, though for some reason I have a faint memory of someone already trying that . . . ehh, I guess no one did. It could be an open proxy or it could be a meatpuppet. I dunno. Obviously, though, he's using a non-static range of IPs. · jersyko talk 18:58, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- Excellent, thanks for doing that. Maybe we can end up with a range block out of this. · jersyko talk 20:36, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- And then there's this - check contributions. Tvoz |talk 05:18, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Already blocked. No way that wasn't Derek. · jersyko talk 14:21, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- . . . and added that one to the list. If he's editing from a completely new set of IPs now, hopefully we can determine what those are. · jersyko talk 14:23, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Formula One (Sega video game)
Hi, the debate on should the article be moved to a new title has come up again. As you participated in it last time, thought you might want to know. AlexJ 16:40, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Checkuser case completed
Hi, A checkuser IP Check case you filled has been completed by a CheckUser, and archived. You can find the results for 7 days at Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/IP check/Archive. -- lucasbfr , checkuser clerk, 20:32, 9 May 2007 (UTC).
- some of those and some others were already confirmed, so I don't know why it's "likely" - or what about the othersTvoz |talk 20:42, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- Not to mention we were going for an IP block, not confirmation of sockpuppetry... --Bobblehead 21:10, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, I was doing at lot there and got mixed up. I've looked into that again and blocked a few ranges. Some of the ranges used had too much other traffic and there would be to much collateral damage to block them. Voice-of-All 23:59, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Tanninglamp's edits
I have been meaning to tell you for a number of days how much I appreciate your vigilance in reverting this individual's vandalism to the Keith Olbermann article. It is astonishing to me---though, I do not know why it continues to astonish me---the lengths to which some people will go in their attempts to smear someone and push a POV. At any rate, looking at the edit history ] of the anonymous user 72.79.115.175, I suspect that these two are one and the same. It would behoove us to keep an eye on this IP. Methinks he is not done yet. Thanks again for your time and efforts. ---Charles 22:38, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Bored
I got bored so I fixed one of your userboxes that no longer worked due to the userbox migration. I hope you don't mind. :)--Mbc 01:27, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- Oo, nifty. Thanks! I hadn't even noticed that it wasn't working.--Bobblehead 03:21, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
IP check
Have the stomach for another IP check? Whatever IP range Dereks1x is currently editing from this user is most certainly editing from it. · jersyko talk 03:24, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
FYI - Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for checkuser/Case/Dereks1x. WP:BAN prevents Dereks1x and his socks from editing at all. I strongly object to the reinsertion of his edits at checkuser. Please comment if you have anything to say. · jersyko talk 15:03, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, the checkuser didn't even bother with the request and immediately checked the user against Dereks1x instead of you, it seems :). Thanks for starting the IP check up again. · jersyko talk 18:58, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks
Thank you for cleaning up List of television shows cancelled after 2006 season. I haven't quite figured out the ref thing yet so it was a bit flabby. Plus, good news about Scrubs. --Wordbuilder 14:36, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
thanks
For fixing the tag on Astronauts HoF - you're right, I meant the whole article. It needs a cmplete overhaul if it's to stay, I think. Tvoz |talk 01:54, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'm working on Gus Grissom's spacesuit as we speak. The article itself is probably noteworthy enough to stay as it does have a number of references in reliable sources. It's just very stubby and could do with some serious expansion. --Bobblehead 02:11, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
