I've listed this article for peer review because over the past two years I've put the article through a major revamp. Major changes include the use of reliable sources (instead of forums and such), a clearer split between the two different types of Turboliners, and a more thorough discussion of their use in the Midwest. I'm interested in taking the article to GA status but I believe the article would benefit from a thorough examination by a third party. At least to my mind the history of the Turboliners is complicated and not always well-documented.

Comments from EdwardH

{{rp}} is intended for references which are used many times in an article, instead of those used only once. Use shortened footnotes instead.
The Background section is unreferenced. The section also doesn't cover their much of their background and focuses more on the scale of their use.
In the RTG Design subsection, information on maintenance and retirement would be better in the Service subsection.
WP:Accessibility forbids the use of bold psuedo-headings (as used in the Service subsection). Instead use the === ... === syntax.
"US$" is unnecessary considering that these trains served only in the US.
The manual of style forbids the mixing of en-dashes and "between".
Some of the sources have all-caps titles; normalising the capitalisation makes them easier to read.
ISBN's are inconsistently formatted.
"miles per hour" can be shortened to "mph".
Why where the trains where ordered? What role(s) were they meant to fulfil?
Perhaps a brief note on their replacements?
Citation 22 is rather short.

It's a good article and I think you'll be able to get it to good article status. EdwardH (talk) 17:40, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
