GA review (see here for criteria)

---

One of the best sourced and detailed articles I have read

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Excellently sourced, and written. But the first paragraph of the lead is alittle confusing. Is the extention apart of the trail it self, or am I misreading that.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   No problems, Most sentences have references.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Nice background of the railroad's history :)

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   No problems

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   None that I see

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   Nice variety of pictures, all free, and they all add nicely to the article

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Not now, but after the rewrite of the lead, the article is ready.

I'll rework the lead paragraph immediately.

Done. Truth be told, the lead was the last thing I worked on. I'm going to leave the references, though, because some claims (such as the bridge being the "most awesome part" of the trail) may be contentious.
