???	This article has not yet received a rating on the project's importance scale.

Made numerous changes: Completely rewrote the first paragraph for correctness. Deleted the third paragraph as it was mostly incorrect and did not think that the remainder of the paragraph made sense in the article. Added the last line about notable visitors, which is not necessary but in my view interesting. Made a few spelling and factual changes in the second paragraphMouborg (talk) 03:10, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted third paragraph as it was superfluous, in my opinion, and incorrect in the fact that stating railroad tunnels were used as road tunnels. (There are in fact no tunnels at all on 140 as well as the fact that the Highway runs on the opposite side of the river of the railroad). 06:57, 17 November 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mouborg (talk • contribs)

5x expanded by Guywelch2000 (talk). Self-nominated at 05:14, 28 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Yosemite Valley Railroad; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Date, size (5x expansion) are fine. Spotcheck did not find a copyvio issues, hooks are interesting. However, the article has a major problem due to insufficient references. Many paragraphs are not referenced, that includes the primary hook about celebrities. (There is a source provided above, but with no page number, and the source needs to be present in the article anyway). I am also not seeing a QPQ review linked (the nom/author has at least one another DYK nom credited on their talk page). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:05, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- The nominator has fewer than 5 nominations and isn't on User:SDZeroBot/DYK nomination counts.json, so they should be exempt, Piotrus. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 08:46, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Sammi Brie: Thanks, that's fine them. But the density of inline references needs to be increased if this is to be DYKed, would you concur? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:10, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Piotrus: Most definitely. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:19, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's been a month and the author has neglected to improve the article. As such, I am closing this nomination. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 13:09, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
