Geographic scope
editThe article mentions only funeral trains in the US, Britain and Australia. Are they used anywhere outside the Anglo-Saxon world? And if not, shouldn't that be noted in the article? Kpalion 00:54, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- I couldn't find any sources for other funeral trains, but at the same time, no sources for there being no other funeral trains. Laïka 07:38, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- And don't call the US an "Anglo-Saxon country", if you don't mind. We're not. Boneyard90 (talk) 18:10, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

New section? There is another meaning to "Funeral train"
editIn the railway enthusiast community, "funeral train" also refers to trains like this one, where a few locomotives carry other locomotives for storage, sale, or scrapping. Could a new section be added detailing such trains? DASL51984 (Speak to me!) 20:57, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
