Prose

• "and two other low-ridership stations were closed" – word usage looks slightly informal here (unless its rail jargon?); may I suggest "stations with low ridership" instead?
  •  Done
• "Most intermediate stations were added by 1850, though some were added later." – as the sentence starts with most, is the latter line necessary?
  • Reworded to clarify a bit - I wanted to make it clear that this wasn't one of the early ones.
    • Oh I see! Thanks for the change.
• "a flag stop with a smaller wooden shelter," – wikilink flag stop.
  •  Done
• "(as the tracks were on an embankment);" – probably wikilink to embankment (earthworks); I thought it was near a river at first!
  •  Done
• There are duplicate refs at the end of the sentence starting "the lower level housed the station agent and his family."
  •  Done
• "4 round trips in 1946, 2½ in 1952, and 1½ in 1957." – I am confused; what is half a round trip exactly?
  • A one-way trip - a bit jargony, unfortunately. There's no other simple way to state it, so I added a slightly wordy clarification.
    • I like the way you fixed it.
• "1943-built shelter is no longer extant." – I have never seen such usage before (keep it if it is academic standard in American English); recommend "The shelter built in 1943 is no longer extant."
  •  Done Not improper in en-us, but I've reworded to clarify.

Refs

All sources cited are RS. Passes spotcheck on refs 1, 4, 9, 14, 17, 23 and 25.

• Use template:cite map for ref 7.
  •  Done
• Ref 28 appears to be an incorrect link.
  •  Done

Other

Short description, external links, coords, cats and infobox all good.

• Recommend adding template:use mdy dates
  •  Done
• Recommend adding template:use X English
  •  Done
