Length, date fine; hook confirmed by online ref. But we need a citation immediately after the sentence containing the hook, and I think you have to review another nomination. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 16:55, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Citation placed immediately after the hook. I am also placing below an alternative hook.

ALT1... that the East Indian Railway laid lines up to Raniganj in 1855, in order to capture the lucrative coal transport business? - Chandan Guha (talk) 00:10, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Both hooks confirmed by online sources. I prefer the original hook, as it's more unusual. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 08:31, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
