ALT1: ... that the Connecticut Valley Railroad successfully fooled the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad into purchasing it by pretending that it planned to expand northwards?

Comment: I'm an hour or so past 7 days after creation, so I understand if this gets declined for that reason. But it's now or never (unless I get this to GA).
Additional comment In my haste to get this done quickly, I added the wrong date to the DYK. It should be filed under January 9, not January 16. My apologies. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 19:48, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Article was created 9 Jan (the time doesn't really matter to me), which was seven days ago. RPS is 5867 B, which is easily long enough. Both hooks are cited inline to an offline source, so I will AGF. QPQ has been done and Earwig looks good. Passing with preference towards ALT1 as I believe that is the more interesting hook.

Promoting ALT1 to Prep 1. And don't worry, you were just 1 hour late or so. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:48, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
