Big Dome

(

)

... that the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway's "Big Dome" dome lounges (pictured) remained on the El Capitan for just two years before being replaced by Hi-Level cars?

New enough (was previously a redirect), long enough, well referenced to what appear reliable sources, no evidence of plagiarism/close paraphrasing from online sources. Hook length OK, AGF on hook fact cited to offline source. QPQ done. Image is on Commons, looks a bit busy to me at small size but my eyesight's not that great, so it's probably fine. Only problem is, by DYK rules, the specific citation for the hook needs to appear inline after the hook fact, not at the end of the para, so if it could be duplicated after the hook sentence, we'd be good to go. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 18:18, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

I have done so, but both the rule and result it has just produced are absurd. Oh well, it won't be like that for very long. Mackensen (talk) 18:32, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Indeed :-) cheers, Struway2 (talk) 22:45, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
