General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Offline source used for much of article accepted in good faith. I found the first edition of The Rail Lines of Southern New England at my alma mater's library (perfect excuse to go for a walk), and it verified (pg. 133, 134) all of the information cited to the second edition except for the bit about 1999 (the first edition was published in 1995). --Dylan620 (he/him · talk · edits) 20:47, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
