General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

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

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Two issues: (1) The station layout section is not sourced. Since the description is of a historical layout of a since-demolished site, you must have found a source for it somewhere? (2) Re ALT0 source: the source says that Sanford Station was in the cider mill, but it does not say that the station served the cider mill, i.e. it does not say that the railroad brought materials and customers or transported the product for customers. Could we rephrase ALT0 to fit the source please? Or find another source for ALT0? (Source for ALT1 is OK). Other matters: I cannot see any DYK banners on the nominator's talk page, so I take it that this is the first, and that the nominator is exempt from providing a QPQ. This is a useful article - thank you for creating it. Storye book (talk) 14:16, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

for ALT0 and ALT1. Locomotive207 Thank you for adding the missing source to the article, and for correcting ALT0 to fit the source. That completes the nomination, and it's good to go now. Congratulations. Just one point: it's normal in these nomination templates to keep the progression of the nomination clear for all to see - so normal practice would have been to create a ALT2, rather than overwrite ALT0. Sorry, perhaps I should have made that clear for you. But all is well now, and I look forward to seeing your next nomination! Storye book (talk) 20:24, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
