References, please.[edit]

Can we get some citations? Much of this looks like it has been written by a person who eyeballed parts of the line when it was quiescent. That's fine, but we need more than just somebody's observations. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 03:23, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Electrification[edit]

A recent edit by @Mjdestroyerofworlds indicates electric service began in 1908, however the 1905 dated photo clearly shows overhead catenary. Not sure if the photo or reference is incorrect, but heads up that a little digging may be needed. ˜˜˜˜ Lexlex (talk) 02:28, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

the Flickr source for this photo says circa 1911. It may have been changed since the image was copied over to wikimedia, but 1911 sure makes a bit more sense. Link to Flickr -MJ (talk) 02:45, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
