I will review this soon. Hog Farm Talk 19:55, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Spot checks:

  • "The monopoly allegation was also made in 1898 by proponents of a new steamboat wharf in Narragansett Pier that would connect to Providence, who pointed to the railroad's high rates (at the time 50 cents between Kingston and Narragansett pier) and surcharges on coal shipments" - supported
  • "However, Bacon sold it for scrap two months later when a financing plan with the towns along its route fell through." - source only indicates that Bacon planned to scrap the entire railroad property, not that he specifically sold the railcar
    The sentence is meant to refer to the entire railroad, not the railcar. Changed to make this clearer. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 03:03, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Narragansett Pier Railroad 11 was also saved at the time of abandonment, and after spending a number of years at the Middletown and New Jersey Railroad it was obtained and restored by the Everett Railroad in Pennsylvania in 2015" - checks out
  • "the town of Narragansett agreed in June 1920 to suspend the railroad's taxes for five years" - checks out
  • "nfortunately for the state, by the time the Interstate Commerce Commission gave the railroad permission to abandon the segment, work on the bridge had progressed to the point it was cheaper to complete it than to abandon its construction" - checks out

This is in good shape; placing on hold. Hog Farm Talk 00:26, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm: I imagine the ongoing RfA is taking up most of your attention right now - I had a book on the railroad come in the other day and I'm going to be making significant changes to the article. You may want to give the article another look over once I'm done, but that's up to you. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 17:33, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just ping me when you're done revamping the article and I'll take another look. Hog Farm Talk 18:56, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Hog Farm: I will expand this more in the future with the goal of taking this to FAC, but for now I think it's in good enough shape for GA. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 17:57, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
