Here is something interesting. Instead of a blog, let's see what the people think through the help of this poll.
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------
Have a look at these 2 TLs - where a member has, with the help of various data, updated the inaugural as 1891 /blog/post/3031608 and /blog/post/3031611
{
But
...
more...
within minutes of it being approved by a TLM, another TLM has created another 2 TLs and reverted it back. /blog/post/3034461 and /blog/post/3034361
}
Now, please go through ALL the arguments of all the 4 blogs and give your opinion.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
<
--- Request all TLMs and FMs/ex-FMs to give your view on this issue. This is not just an issue of a date but also a TLM who approved after reading the proof and then his stamp being overridden by another.
-- An interesting case for a FM - as to, how to tackle this issue.
- Let's make this an interesting poll and set emotions and "historic" emotions aside.

No. Whims and fancies of the TLM should always take precedence.

Moderator should intervene and speak up. He needs to stand up for members too.

ER drew a blank in the RTI. I had requested them to share the source for the information in case no original documents are available. However they categorically mentioned that the office does not have any original documents related to this and just forwarded an attachment which was basically the same as the press release done by the CPRO on that day that appeared in the newspapers, talking about 1UP/2DN being introduced on that date. (I've attached the RTI reply).
While the exact information about the original train is yet to be found, since then, I've managed to dig up more information from government records dating to the early 1900's with some definite dates. Will try to

share the details once I get the permission to share the records ( which are under copyright protection).

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
