Pre-GA notes

{{ping|Trainsandotherthings}} While you've done some great work on this article so far, I don't think it's ready for GA. Given that the company only ever operated a single line, the article should cover the whole history of the line, not just the corporate history. I would recommend adding the following to reach GA quality and meet criteria 3a (broad in coverage):

  • List of passenger stations, cited to 1912 or 1915 timetables
  • Brief description of the route (possibly just a few sentences before the station list), with a map if possible. [https://archives.lib.uconn.edu/islandora/object/20002%3AMSS19980378 1915 valuation maps] may be useful to source any details. I will try to add a KML file within the next few days.
  • Full history of service (passenger and freight) on the line, including the West River Branch built in 1892
  • History of abandonment, including any documented remains

I'm happy to help with any of those items if you need. Note that the [http://www.tylercitystation.info/ Tyler City Station] site has an exhaustively researched and cited history of the line. Because of the completeness of the citations, I consider it a reliable enough source for GA; in many cases it is also possible to verify directly from the listed sources.

:Yeah, that's on me that I didn't get this all the way to the level I normally do. I was lazy and nominated it for GA before it was really ready, knowing that the backlog is so long it would be a while before it gets picked up. I was going to work on it but got distracted by my FAC. I'm going to expand this article soon, hopefully today, and get it to something really ready for GAN.

::{{re|Pi.1415926535}} I've made some improvements now. Do you have one of those station listings you could add to this article? I know you usually are able to find timetables. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 14:34, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
