This article is new enough, as it was promoted to Good Article status on 11 October 2023. This article is long enough, at 5094 characters (847 words) "readable prose size". This article is neutral and well sourced. I verified all the sources that underpin the hook, confirming that Kimball County was named for Kimball, and that he was a railroad executive. While the hook does not use images, the article includes two images that are released into the public domain. I confirmed that a QPQ was also completed.
