Boston, Barre and Gardner Railroad
- ... that the Boston, Barre and Gardner Railroad never actually reached Boston or Barre? Source: Ronald Dale Karr, The Rail Lines of Southern New England, 2nd edition. p. 230. "in 1869, the destination of the railroad shifted northward toward Gardner and Winchendon; the line never did get to Barre."
- ALT1: ... that the Boston, Barre and Gardner Railroad was founded in 1847, but did not start construction until 22 years later, in 1869? Source: Ronald Dale Karr, The Rail Lines of Southern New England, 2nd edition. p. 230. "In 1847 the Barre & Worcester Railroad was chartered... Renamed the Boston, Barre and Gardner in 1849, it remained a railroad in name only for the next two decades."

@Trainsandotherthings: Article was recently expanded and generally well-referenced. Both hooks are interesting, but the original one is my pick. I will AGF on the hook that I have no access to. Copyvio not detected by Earwig (though admittedly, might be due to sources being not open access). QPQ is done. Good to go - the orange tag at the top seems to be a "standard" thing for train lines, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary. Would certainly help to have it, but it can work without.
