This is a short (but beautiful) GA so my comments wont be as long as the others.

Use browser find and replace to figure out what i am talking about

The Boston and Maine Railroad took over the Boston and Lowell in 1887. I know what you are trying to say here but a reader might not. Maybe you could rephrase if possible (not required, but would be nice)

• Rewritten as "In 1887, the Boston and Maine Railroad took over the Boston and Lowell and became the new operator of the Salem and Lowell." Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 13:32, 25 March 2022 (UTC) reply

with the motive power changing to diesel locomotives. what does "motive power" mean?

• This sentence isn't in this article. I think you got it confused with Warwick Railway, where I did write such a sentence. Motive power is a term for the type of locomotive used to power trains. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 13:32, 25 March 2022 (UTC) reply

• You are right, silly me.

North Reading, remove the comma here maybe?

• Comma removed, sentence reworded slightly for better flow. Trainsandotherthings ( talk) 13:32, 25 March 2022 (UTC) reply

Sources look good. Archived one reference at Wayback (ghostarchive, which is the only other one that can do pdf, is down at this moment) Stable history, all that looks good.

Overall, very impressed as usual.
