Duluth and Iron Range Railroad Company Passenger Station

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that the Duluth and Iron Range Railroad Company Passenger Station in Tower, Minnesota, provided passenger service for less than 40 years?

• ALT1:... that tourism led to the opening and discontinuation of service of the Duluth and Iron Range Railroad Company Passenger Station?
• ALT2:... that less freight service related to the closing of the nearby Soudan Mine, once Minnesota's richest iron mine, lead to the demise of the Duluth and Iron Range Railroad Company Passenger Station?
• Reviewed: Pixar Short Films Collection, Volume 1
• Comment: Article might expand some in the next few days; I am open to better wording on ALT1, which I think might be more interesting

• I'm not comfortable with ALT2, since the source is not clear as to whether freight was going through this station or another one in Tower. Chris857 (talk) 17:23, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
• And I've begun my QPQ. Chris857 (talk) 18:33, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

• QPQ is done, 5x expansion checks out, hooks are verified, no close paraphrasing issues, etc. This is ready to go. However, I suggest minor rewording of ALT1 so that the kludgy name on the National Register listing isn't part of the hook:

• ALT1A:... that tourism led to both the opening and the discontinuation of service at the passenger rail depot in Tower, Minnesota? --Orlady (talk) 15:44, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
