GA review (see here for criteria)

---

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   • The lead should not have citations unless the information is unique. The lead is supposed to be a summary of the whole article.
   • The article is poorly formatted, for example the Railway links to adjacent countries section should be prose rather than a bulleted list.
   • The tables used in the article are inconsistently formatted.
   • There are several one and two sentence paragraphs that can be combined.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   • There are large sections of the article that are unreferenced.
   • There are a few dead links in the article, check the tool.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   • The History and Locomotives sections should have a summary of the subarticle.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

The article has several major issues that could take more than a week to fix. Therefore, I will have to fail the article. The article may be renominated once these issues are addressed. Dough4872 04:33, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
