Non-notable fictional railway. "pegnsean.net" looks like a self-published fansite, so probably not unreliable. The rest of the sources, except for one, are all primary sources to the fiction series. The one source is a biography of the author, but I can't access it to determine if the content is significant coverage. A WP:BEFORE search is bringing up nothing reliable. I'm finding Wikia, blogs, web forums, and [1], which is a book complied from Wikia content. [2] only covers the railway in two sentences. That's all that showed up in the exactly six pages of Google hits. There's some Google scholar hits, but most of them are for "Culdee" with railway appearing separately in the article. The ones about it just parrot the in-universe sentence " A Rack Railway climbed up the Culdee Fell, largely for tourism purposes, and there were several more engines in a small railway owned by Sodor China Clay". I'm not finding any way in which this obscure fictional concept could possibly be notable. Hog Farm Bacon 02:10, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
