Prose

 * In the lead, I would wikilink sewage sludge as you do so for the body.
 * Good catch, link added. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 03:53, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Do the sources say when the shipyard was built?
 * MWRA's website says 1900, added. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 03:53, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * "In response, Watson decided to build his own railroad, and a route from the shipyard to the South Shore Railroad line was identified." – nit-picky but recommend "In response, Watson decided to build his own railroad, identifying a route that connected the shipyard to the South Shore Railroad line." as IMO and is used quite a few times in the previous paragraph.
 * Works for me, changed as suggested. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 03:53, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * "and electrification added to the north portion of the Fore River Railroad" – recommend "and electrification was added to the north portion of the Fore River Railroad" as the wording coupled with the first and third sentences confused me initially.
 * Word added as suggested. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 03:53, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * "While its primary purpose for existing was gone," – how about "had diminished" instead?
 * My concern with this change is the shipyard was indeed the sole reason the railroad was built. Other customers that eventually started getting rail service happened later on. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 03:53, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * "In 1991 the MWRA" – comma for consistency with the lead and 1,000 carloads sentence.
 * Comma added. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 03:53, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
