History

The railroad was completed in April 1903, via a route along the Klickitat River Canyon to Wahkiacus and Swale Creek to the southern outskirts of Goldendale. - with the repeated "to" construction the sentence is less clear.
- Fixed by adding "before reaching"
incorporated into a branch of a major railroad - do we know which one? Also, the repeated "railroad" in this sentence makes it more confusing.
- The sentence meant to say that the Lyle branch was supplementary to the northern bank railroad (which was the mainline of the SP&S Company). I have reworded it to make it clearer.
shorter and longer bridges - could use a bit more explanation
- Added descriptors (west and east).

Couldn't find any other issues. Should be a pass once these issues are fixed. --Rs chen 7754 22:38, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
