Line 108:

*''Some of the diesel locomotives will be retained for service south of Tamien and, potentially, on the Dumbarton Rail Corridor.'' The Dumbarton Rail Corridor is mentioned without any context, and is not clearly mentioned in the body of the article. The article mentions that electrification is a prerequisite for expansion across the Dumbarton Rail Bridge, and ref 17, which supports this, makes no reference to diesel or electric trains. This needs to be clarified.

:::The sentence as previously written was correct but confusing: diesel locomotives will be retained for use south of Tamien. Diesel locomotives would also be used over Dumbarton Rail Corridor (DRC), as there are currently no plans to expand the electrified corridor over DRC, and electrification is not a prerequisite for service across DRC. The article text stating that electrification was a prerequisite to expanded service across DRC and to Gilroy is inaccurate: in re-reading the source 1998 ''Rapid Rail Study'', it appears that electrification is merely a higher priority than expanding the system. ''RRS'' gives four priorities starting on page 1-14: (1) Rehabilitation (deferred maintenance from SP ownership), (2) Enhancement (completed as Caltrain Express), (3) Electrification (the current article), and (4) Expansion (including DRC and Gilroy). I will rewrite the article text under the subhead '''Early electrification proposals''' to make this clear. Cheers, [[User:Mliu92|Mliu92]] ([[User talk:Mliu92|talk]]) 14:31, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

*I have now completed the review. You seem to be getting on well with resolving the issues. I will put the article on hold. You normally have 7 days to complete the work, but do let me know if you need a little more time, or if there is anything that is not clear.
