Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	Well-written prose. I see no issues with it.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	Yes. Sections are appropriate. Lead adequately summarizes the article. The list is appropriate and properly formatted. I didn't notice any inappropriate words.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	The citations are formatted correctly. There are a couple of statements without an inline citation: In the "Amtrak" section: "The Amtrak platform, which is located below the main level of the building, is accessible using a stairway or an elevator. There is a single low-level platform facing one of the line's two tracks. A wheelchair lift is available for use if needed, making the station fully handicapped accessible." In the "Early stations" section: "With the completion of the Housatonic, passengers could travel in four directions from Pittsfield: west to Albany, north to North Adams, east to Springfield and Boston, and south to Bridgeport and New York City."
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	No issues here
	2c. it contains no original research.	No apparent OR
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	No apparent copyright violations
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	The article addresses all main topics. One question: Does the center have parking or drop off for passenger vehicles?
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	No issues here. The article is divided appropriately and does not go into unnecessary detail on any topic. On first reading the article, I thought the history section went into unnecessary detail about the history of the former stations, but I see from the talk page that those articles were merged into this one.
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	There are no neutrality issues with this article
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	No issues here
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	No fair use images in this article. All images have appropriate copyright tags.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	No issues with this criteria
	7. Overall assessment.	All this article needs is inline citations for the two cases mentioned above and this article can be promoted to GA.

Done The two cases you've raised were both covered by citations already in the article, so I've added the cite note to the two sentences. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:35, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
