Oriental Desert Express
- ... that the
Oriental Desert Express is equipped with shovels to help clear sand off the railroad tracks? Source:
[1]
- ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)
Created by The ed17 ( talk). Self-nominated at 09:21, 16 January 2017 (UTC).
New enough (moved to mainspace & nominated on 16 January), long enough (2267 characters), and article is within policy.- Hook is short enough, interesting, and supported inline by
[2], in particular it's supported by the sentence "En raison de l'ensablement, les arrêts se succèdent mais ne se ressemblent pas: des opérateurs descendent du train, pelles en diagonale, pour désensabler les rails et ainsi permettre au train de parvenir à sa trajectoire." (for the benefit of anyone reading this nomination who doesn't speak French).

QPQ doesn't appear to have been done.
The ed17 has
15 previous DYK credits, and so is required to do a QPQ. - Once The ed17 has done a QPQ, I'll be happy to pass this nomination. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 14:04, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
