Looks good, very close to GA. Just a few minor corrections and some suggestions. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:46, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incident

Aftermath

[edit]
  • I would recommend left-aligning these images. Having them with the text (rather than pushed below the infobox) is more important than any potential sandwiching.
    Fair enough, done. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:33, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I recommend adding {{inflation}} for the half-million cost.
    Done. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:33, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Any information on when the double tracking was completed?
    The last section between Providence and Worcester was completed in 1885, though the work did begin shortly after the accident. I can't say when the section in question was double-tracked, though we would logically assume it would be one of the first locations to be addressed.

  • I'm doubtful of the claim that the P&W had the first electronic signal system in the US. The Fitchburg Cutoff had track circuits installed in 1876, and several other lines shortly thereafter. Perhaps this was the first of a specific signal system type - are there any further details in the source?
    I'm in the middle of a move at the moment (going back to Connecticut) and I don't have the book in question with me right now. For the time being I'm just going to remove the "first" claim from the article. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:33, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
