... that the Potomac, Fredericksburg and Piedmont Railroad cost less than US$1 million to build?

Article is new enough (created 11/24) and long enough. Hook fact is sourced to a 600-plus page book. Request that the creator or nominator provide a page cite so that the review need not comb through such a long book to verify the hook. Cbl62 (talk) 21:41, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

I have added a page cite for the hook. - MountainRail (talk) 21:58, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. That helped. As noted above, the article is long enough and new enough. The hook is short enough, interesting, and supported by the in-line citation discussed above. Spot-checking reveals no evidence of copyright violation or unduly close paraphrasing. Article is generally well sourced and neutrally written. Looks good. No QPQ required since this is not a self-nom. Cbl62 (talk) 22:30, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
