Mostly unsourced list. Most of the cited sources are unreliable or primary, and it's had maintenance templates (confusing, NOR, GNG, unreliable sources) for eight years. Needs TNT to be useful. dudhhr_Contribs 03:06, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect, to longest trains. There is a lot of overlap between the two articles and the terms seem to be used synonymously in the available sources. SailingInABathTub (talk) 10:42, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect, to longest trains per above. Grandruskiy48 (talk) 16:51, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to longest trains ... one might say heaviest trains are by axle load (true) but longest trains are more relevant as longest trains have more tonnage, hence (heaviest). --Whiteguru (talk) 10:27, 4 June 2021 (UTC)--Whiteguru (talk) 10:27, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
• Delete. This is written as an essay and the sources are unreliable as mentioned above. User:TillmanJosh (Josh) 7:34, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. killer bee  09:30, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Leaning towards a merge (if anything is of value) and redirect as WP:ATD. Any thoughts from the !deletes or anyone else?
