Created by Black Kite (talk). Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has fewer than 5 past nominations.

• Note article moved to mainspace on 18/07/26. Black Kite (talk) 16:12, 18 July 2026 (UTC).
• Article is new enough, long enough, hook is interesting and present/cited in the article. Earwig (the tool used to detect copyright violations) returned 22% similarity, which is due to the quotes at the end of the article, so no problems there. QPQ not needed as user is new to DYK. I'll leave it to you if you want this article to run on the main page on 27 September (the 201st anniversary of SD&R). JuniperChill (talk) 19:20, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

• @JuniperChill: Thanks, the target is the music venue rather than the locomotive so I don't think the date really matters. Black Kite (talk) 11:03, 21 July 2026 (UTC)
