QPQ: Done.

Overall:   Offline source used for much of article accepted in good faith. I found the first edition of The Rail Lines of Southern New England at my alma mater's library (perfect excuse to go for a walk), and it verified (pg. 133, 134) all of the information cited to the second edition except for the bit about 1999 (the first edition was published in 1995). --Dylan620 (he/him · talk · edits) 20:47, 8 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello. I will be doing a good article review of this article. I aim to complete this review within the next few days. It should be pretty close to GA level judging from my initial glance over it. If you would like to repay the favour, I have some good article nominations at WP:GAN right now. Steelkamp (talk) 10:13, 24 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Good article criteria

  Well written

  Verifiable with no original research

  • I checked every reference that I could access (all but the first one), and they seem to be reliable. The article also conforms with what they say. I will have to assume good faith on the one I could not access. This criterion is passed. Good job, I don't think I've ever done a GA review where I don't have any suggestions for sourcing.

I've done all my suggestions for criteria 1 and 3. I have yet to look at sources. Steelkamp (talk) 16:18, 24 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
