Article new and long enough, and QPQ has been completed. No copyvio as far as either me or Earwig is concerned. Hook is verifiable, though I suppose not directly mentioned in the article being statistics and all. Regardless, I believe this is good to go. I would clarify in the hook that the station is in Chicago for those not familiar with the names of transit lines, though. Juxlos (talk) 15:39, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
