Seems to be lacking citations; probably shouldn't be considered a FA.--King Bedford I ^{Seek his grace} 23:31, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll dig out the references from my personal library again and take a look to improve the referencing. I'm planning to set time aside to work on it this weekend. Slambo (Speak) 11:35, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Working on it now... Slambo (Speak) 02:00, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Most of the article body now has inline citations. There's still more that I need to do on this article, but I need to get to bed now. I plan to work further on this in the next couple days. Slambo (Speak) 03:59, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- My weekend was a little busier than I expected and I expect to be busy for this coming weekend, but with a little time coming up in the evenings I wanted to check in here to see if there's anything else that is further needed besides the referencing (and the formatting that I already found and fixed) Slambo (Speak) 11:09, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Seeing no further comments, I'll assume that the work that I've done so far is in line with what needs to be done and that there are no further objections to keeping featured status on this article. Slambo (Speak) 11:39, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Sure, keep--King Bedford I ^{Seek his grace} 12:19, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd prefer to see a cite for ...the first locomotive to cross the Allegheny Mountains (albeit by canal boat and not by rail), and the first locomotive to operate in Ohio.

Could you please specify the sources for: According to well-established sources, Colburn was, around 1854, 'superintendent and/or consultant' at the works where he introduced a number of improvements in locomotive design.? DrKiernan (talk) 16:10, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll see what I can do on this today. Slambo (Speak) 16:13, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done - added refs for both statements. Slambo (Speak) 18:50, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great! This article should be retained as an FA. DrKiernan (talk) 09:32, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note Can this be closed without FARC? Joelito (talk) 02:39, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The three of us above think so. DrKiernan (talk) 08:28, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
