 * Here is the discussion:
 * The hook fact lacks an inline cite. Also, the hook goes beyond what the article says, which is: The Newport News section was lightly used—usually not filling a single coach. Yoninah (talk) 11:19, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Indeed; that usually is essential. ——  SerialNumber  54129  16:48, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The inline cite was at the end of the next sentence, but I have duplicated it at the end of the sentence used by the hook. Would ALT1: "...that the Colonial replaced a train that usually often could not fill a single passenger car?" be an appropriate hook? Pi.1415926535 (talk) 02:39, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Yes, but I think the word "often" reads more smoothly here. Thanks for the inline cite; I couldn't check it myself because it's offline. Restoring tick for ALT1. Yoninah (talk) 11:56, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
