garbled sentence[edit]

@NGREU: The second sentence in this article is garbled, possibly because of cut-and-paste errors:

The peat railway was opened in 1950, and has a total length of 20 kilometres (12 mi) is currently operational, the track gauge is 750 mm (2 ft 5 1⁄2 in).

Showing the apparent structure:

The peat railway

was opened in 1950, and
has a total length of 20 kilometres (12 mi)
is currently operational
the track gauge is 750 mm (2 ft 5 1⁄2 in)

What is currently operational? The whole railway? A part of it? "The peat railway" is the subject of "was" and "has", but "is" has no subject.

In a list-like sentence like this one, the reader would expect something like, perhaps

... and has a total length of 20 kilometres (12 mi), of which 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) is currently operational,

One possible form of rewrite would be

The peat railway was opened in 1950~~, and~~ . It has a total length of 20 kilometres (12 mi), of which 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) is currently operational, ~~the~~ and a track gauge is of 750 millimetres (2 ft 51⁄2 in).
