Almost certainly a copyright violation: this image is available from the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society website and is credited to Gary Stuebben: [1] [2]. The original uploader on en.wp was User:Oanabay04, who's been blocked for sockpuppetry and committed massive copyright infringement there. There's no reason to believe that he's Stuebben, especially given Commons:Deletion requests/File:Newtown train at AYRES May 1982.jpg. Mackensen (talk) 01:12, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The second link is the real evidence of copyright violation. Unless the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society website specifically has evidence they gave Oanabay04 permission to add this, I'm afraid I have to Support the deletion. Let me state for the record, that I only uploaded it to the commons, and I'd like to find a way to use the links as substitutions for the copyvio images. ----DanTD (talk) 01:41, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think a lot of us were caught off guard by these copyvios - I myself transferred a few without realizing. If the RCT&HS is still active, it might be worth sending them an email to see if Gary Stuebben might be willing to license the image. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 17:55, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
