Orphaned references in Stourbridge Railroad
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Stourbridge Railroad's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "drury": From Lehigh and New England Railroad:  From Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad:  From Lehigh Valley Railroad:  From Erie Railroad:  From Reading Company:  From Interstate Commerce Commission:  From Pennsylvania Railroad:  From Baltimore and Ohio Railroad: </li> <li>From New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway: </li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 02:38, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Agenoria
The article includes a quite referring - wrongly - to the Stourbridge Lion as "the first commercial locomotive on rails in the western hemisphere" (emphasis added). Most locos to pre-date this ran East of the Greenwich Meridian, or were experimental, rather than commercial. The Agenoria, however, ran before the ('}}Lion, did so West of the meridian (i.e. "in the western hemisphere"), and was part of a batch (the first?) of locos produced commercially.

 * Simply untrue. Greenwich is East of Stockton and the NE coalfields.
 * That would also be to ignore several other steam-hauled railways in the UK. History does not follow the "Trevithick-Locomotion-Rocket-Brunel" timeline that is so generally, and incompletely, held.
 * Besides which, this Greenwich meridian distinction is surely something rather too subtle for the Wayne County Chamber of Commerce. They're just meaning "USA vs barbarians of no importance" Andy Dingley (talk) 13:38, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
