 * Symbol voting keep.svg Article was created on March 21, QPQ is there, all three blurbs are cited, and I don't see any major referencing problems. I like the top blurb best, but's hard to double-check the 6 month claim, since the article's a bit vague about how long they were in operation at Great Northern, but since the citation comes from a book, I assume they did all the maths.
