A very interesting hook, but I would suggest you add an image to your hook, to add to the "hookiness". Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 05:23, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. Unfortunately I don't think that any of the available images look any good at the required size. violet/riga [talk] 18:39, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Unless File:Uyuni Décembre 2007 - Cimetière de Trains 1.jpg could be cropped? violet/riga [talk] 19:24, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- I've done that now. violet/riga [talk] 22:14, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Violetriga: Does File:Budapest, Istvántelki Főműhely, vonattemető, 4.jpg not work? It was my preference to be honest. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:06, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- I see what you're saying and have added it above. My concern is that it's a little difficult to see what it is, but then that might be a good thing. violet/riga [talk] 12:57, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Article was created on the day it was nominated, and it meets the length requirements. Earwigs detected no copyright problems. All images in the article are appropriately licensed. QPQ provided. However, the lead is completely unsourced. While references in the lead is usually optional, it's not in this particular case, particularly on the information regarding Woodham Brothers or the information about train graveyards being different from abandoned railways.

- The Woodham Brothers content was added recently by someone else and I've now worked it into the article. Given that abandoned railway clearly defines that as "a railway line which is no longer used for that purpose" as opposed to "where trains and rolling stock are discarded" I don't see why a reference would be needed - I think it's quite self-explanatory? violet/riga [talk] 12:37, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
No problems left so this should be good to go; hook is cited inline. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:56, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
