:Hi,
:I really haven't been able to find anything except archive, historical documents, and mentions in relevant companies documentation.
:There really hasn't been much new coverage on a 79 year old hydro station sadly. Still waiting to gain access to archives for any historical news articles that may exist.
:Cheers,

[[Draft:Ashburton Railway Footbridge|Ashburton Railway Footbridge]] moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Ashburton Railway Footbridge, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

:Good as gold, will continue working on it. Glenmillernz (talk) 04:31, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
::No categories. Incomplete sentences. Not enough references to demonstrate notability. Unreferenced content. It just wasn’t ready for mainspace – sorry. Schwede66 06:50, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
