Needs attention?

The prose in this article needs a lot of work. There's probably enough there to make a decent route description section and qualify the article for start-class, but there seem to be a lot of biased statements interspersed throughout it, and it's just generally written with an unencyclopedic tone. -- Kéiryn ^talk 03:28, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article also appears in the online edition of the Tri-City Hearald. -- allen四names 00:55, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the route description needs a direction reversal. Dan ad nauseam (talk) 03:12, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Will review after lunch. Courcelles (talk) 14:58, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What's with all the pinpointers on the map?
- @Courcelles: Just some bad leftovers from the original KML. I drew up a new one and replaced it, but it might take a while for it to be purged. Sounder Bruce 00:03, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Other than that, I've got nothing. Good work. Courcelles (talk) 16:40, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay, promoted. I assume the blue line is the spur route, might want to make that explicit. Courcelles (talk) 01:43, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
