Certainly should not be capital-R, single word "Raillines". "rail lines"? "railway lines"? "rail tracks"? Something else? Jmabel ! talk 02:39, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Jmabel: Two of the images look like railroad tracks and one looks like an actual train. Do you know of a more general category they could fit into? Krok6kola (talk) 04:37, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- Any of the above would be an improvement; I’ll throw in “railways” for simplicity. I note the parent categories are “rail tracks“ (fallen trees) and “railway lines” (US), but I didn’t look further for a majority usage in those, ahem, trees.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 07:54, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Odysseus1479: Each of those images were already in categories about hurricane damage in the United States. So I think this particular category is unneeded. Krok6kola (talk) 15:27, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- I think the category is useful. I could easily imagine someone looking for exactly this, and it would otherwise be hard to find. - Jmabel ! talk 17:38, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

- Apparently, I'm the creator of this category. I have no idea what was going on. I'll assume I was trying to reduce an overloaded category into subcategories or standardizing category names.
* Category:Rail tracks blocked by fallen trees or branches is could be a subcategory of Category:Fallen trees in the United States, in which case, 'Fallen trees on Raillines in the United States' is more in line with that categories naming style. * As to reducing the number of images in a category, none of the categories into which 'Fallen trees on Raillines in the United States' is linked is excessive in it's images.
- Thus, I go along with getting rid of the capital-R and then moving all of the images from Category:Rail tracks blocked by fallen trees or branches into Category:Fallen trees on raillines in the United States with the elimination of the former. Since there are no images in the current category, it could be totally eliminated, but I do like using the same language from the Category:Fallen trees in the United States.

- As far as I can tell, "railline" as a single word barely exists. Try doing a Google search on it and you'll see. - Jmabel ! talk 05:36, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
