Article is new enough and long enough. Hook is within limits and historically interesting, and citations all check. One image is self created, and one is PD - i.e.Okay. QPQ satisfied. Article is good to go, however, I would recommend putting the year date (1865) that the first rails were made in the hook. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 22:12, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
