I have to say, I am surprised this never existed until now! Date, length (very well done, FA nom incoming I predict?) and hook all OK. QPQ not needed as this is his first nomination. No close paraphrasing (beyond a few quotes). Picture is licenced fine. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 14:08, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
Yes, but it needs a little rephrasing. You cannot campaign IN whistle stop train tour; also there's no need to repeat 'train' twice. I suggest the following: ...he conducted a whistle stop tour on a train named "Spirit of America" That's also how I've tweaked it in the article's lead. Good luck!

- @Leoseliv: and @The C of E: Sure, I have rephrased the hook as per your suggestions.
