Central Link
... that Seattle's Central Link (pictured) is considered a "light metro" system due to its grade separation and larger trainsets?Source: The Seattle Times- ALT1:... that Central Link trains (pictured) share a tunnel with buses in downtown Seattle? Source: The Seattle Times
ALT2:... that Seattle's Central Link (pictured) uses a 1,500 V electrical system instead of the standard 750 V for American light rail systems in order to have fewer electrical substations?Source: Railway Age

- Template:Re Not strictly a review, but I think ALT0 and ALT1 should clarify that Central Link is part of Sound Transit's light rail system. epicgenius (talk) 14:00, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- I think adding the locale (Seattle) is easier to recognize than Sound Transit. SounderBruce 21:46, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant that ALT0 and ALT1 should clarify that Central Link is part of Seattle's light rail system. epicgenius (talk) 17:55, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:52, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
This newly promoted GA qualifies for DYK under the time and length criteria. Both ALT0 and ALT2 may be of interest to light rail enthusiasts, but I think ALT1 is of more interest to the general reader so I am approving ALT1. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and Earwig's tool did not detect anything amiss. The image is appropriately licensed but is not suitable for use with this hook (the Pioneer Square station image would be suitable.} Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:23, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
