 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * controlling railway engines is not quite correct. Telegraph was used by railway signallers to regulate the safe movement of trains. This was called single or double line Block safeworking.
 * controlling railway engines is not quite correct. Telegraph was used by railway signallers to regulate the safe movement of trains. This was called single or double line Block safeworking.


 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):  d (copyvio and plagiarism):
 * My sense is that Edinburgh and Glasgow do not need links; instead, you may wish to (either) link to or refer to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway.
 * The citation from reference 8 does not make sense. Please explain how telegraph controls railway engines  with electricity by turning on and off steam. There is something not quite right with this citation.


 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * Good coverage of Bain and his inventions. References are well resourced.


 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * NPOV is presented in this article.

 * 1) It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
