Overall: 
@Pi.1415926535: Good article. However, i'm not exactly sure where it says that a 2022 extension was already being planned in the alt1 source. could you explain or provide another? Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:19, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: Bottom of the second column:
Richard C. Bowen, the rail planner at the Vermont Transportation Agency, said the state hopes to eventually extend the Rutland train northward to Middlebury and Burlington. But Bowen said the relatively long route north of Rutland will take time and money to repair, while the Whitehall-to-Rutland route can be upgraded much more quickly.
Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:07, 1 December 2022 (UTC)- @Pi.1415926535: That doesn't confirm that they had already planned it. Rather, it states that they wanted to plan it. So the source doesn't verify the hook. Onegreatjoke (talk) 00:36, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: Would substituting "proposed" for "planned" work? If not, we could go for ALT0 or ALT2. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 01:16, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Pi.1415926535: substituting planned for proposed would probably the best option here. Onegreatjoke (talk) 14:29, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: Done. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:53, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

seems to me that the information in ALT0 isn't fully backed up in the wiki article – are all the facts in there? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 06:42, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Theleekycauldron: What's missing? It's citation 54, second paragraph under "Further changes". Pi.1415926535 (talk) 15:59, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
- Not as much missing as I thought; I added a little bit for clarification and we're good to go. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 23:47, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
