New and long enough, checks for copvio reveals no problems (e.g. Earwig's Copyvio Detector), all non-lead paragraphs have inline citations, QPQ review performed by nominator.
- The only problem is that a source is required in the article to verify content of the hook, no further than at the end of the sentence that contains the information. I added a source that I found to the article in hopes to correct this, but the source does not state the locations. North America1000 00:46, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
- I think the NYSDEC report is sufficient, yes? It says the following: "A trackwork program was instituted which would permit passenger service between Utica and Lake Placid during the 1980 Winter Olympics. This involved additional work not originally contemplated, so an additional $850,000 in State funds was obligated. Operation began in November, 1979." Mackensen (talk) 00:50, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
Good to go per the above. Indeed, the source I added does have the locations. I have copy edited the article, and content of the hook is now verified by a reliable source. North America1000 01:18, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
