 * Comment: I first started working on this article in my User:RightCowLeftCoast/Sandbox/Goat Canyon Trestle, then after moving it to the mainspace, learned of a stub article about the same subject Goat Canyon Trestle Bridge, which I have since boldly turned into a redirect. If considered a new page moved into the mainspace, it is presently 540 words of prose and 2, 765 characters. If this is considered an expansion of Goat Canyon Trestle Bridge, which was a stub, which had some minor improvement on 16 February by users Legacypac & KJP1, prior to the redirect change, that had 94 words and 632 characters; therefore there has been more than a fivefold increase in content about the subject. The article contains numerous citations, and the hooks above are all cited. Using Earwig's Copyvio Detector, it came up with only a 5.7%. I have included an image, which was on Wikimedia Commons, which is free of copyright restrictions, and is used in the article infobox. For QPQ, I made the following review.

 * I have reviewed this article. I prefer ALT2 because global superlatives are universally appealing. I will have to file for a histmerge tomorrow. epicgenius (talk) 03:27, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
