Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Prefer the first alternate hook, which is more interesting. SounderBruce 05:34, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

@SounderBruce: It just occurred to me I hadn't provided sufficient information in the hooks for a global audience, or identified what kind of station this is. I've updated the preferred ALT1 (see below). ALT3 is 168 characters long. Mindmatrix 14:53, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

• ALT3 (derived from ALT1): ...that an environmental assessment for the future Grimsby train station included review of an 1876 historical atlas of Ontario (Canada) to find features of historic value? Source: "This included reviewing the book 1876 illustrated Historical Atlas..." Appendix C5: Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment Report (first paragraph - page 12 of doc, page 19 of PDF)

@Mindmatrix: Indeed, having identifiers for the non-North American audience is crucial. I'd tweak your new alternate hook like the example below. SounderBruce 22:25, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

• ...that an environmental assessment for the future Grimsby train station included review of an 1876 historical atlas of Ontario, Canada to find features of historic value?

I'm OK with your amended version of ALT3. Mindmatrix 22:34, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Looks good to me. SounderBruce 01:16, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
