This is fantastic. Bringing nearly everything into a chronology makes a lot of sense. The infobox is useful. The page is remarkably well referenced--source work is thorough. I'm getting the type of information that I imagine a reader would be looking for. You've made it easy for any future contributors to organize addt'l info.

Reads well too, good job synthesizing a lot of info.

1. At end of UER section, consider merger of last two paragraphs? They address separate thoughts, but 1950s financial difficulties resolve the WWII ridership boom.

2. Consider renaming 3rd history section to something like 'Successors to UER (1951-today)' Those two paragraphs might work merged, too.

3. Would not be out of the question to relocate Legacy section as final paragraph, inside this 'Successors..' subsection of History. I get the feeling someone looking for this info would check History if the 'Legacy' title was absent. Thoschis (talk) 16:37, 2 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

This article contains a lot of information that does not pertain specifically to UER, but does provide a history of transit in Rhode Island. Considering reform article into "History of Transit in Rhode Island" or "History of Trolleys in Rhode Island". Chris sarli (talk) 13:56, 10 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
