A fact from Amboy station appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 July 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that as the Northern Division headquarters for the Illinois Central Railroad the Amboy Depot (pictured) had authority over 53 train stations?

The Locomotive in the picture

No mention of the Locomotive in the picture in the article? This deeply displeases me. --293.xx.xxx.xx 10:32, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Well, considering the article was just created yesterday, of course it won't have everything. Not only that, but there is nothing stopping you from adding to the article if you cite your work.--Kranar drogin 10:47, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Concur with Kranar, though I plan on adding it soon, suggest watching the page. : ) IvoShandor 12:09, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ta da! IvoShandor 12:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

The article says that when it was authorised the Illinois Central was the "largest" railroad in the world. What does this mean? It can't mean biggest turnover or largest number of passengers because it wasn't even built. Nice piece otherwise.

Thanks. Wording altered, check it now. IvoShandor 07:57, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
