QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article was previously not long enough, but it has now been expanded by approximately 5x. All content in the body of the article is properly sourced, but I am not sure whether http://www.tramz.com/tt/tt.html [6] is reliable, as I thought it was a personal blog. The article is clean, with no copyright violations or plagiarism. The hook looks fine to me; if the question above is addressed, this should be good to go.

• Thanks Hteiktinhein. I meant to find better sources to replace tramz.com, but it ended up slipping my mind. Anthony works for passenger transport (though he doesn't give an actual date) and I found another article from the Trinidad Guardian (which I suspect may be written by Glen Beadon, author of ref 7) which supports the steam addition.
