[edit] Paragraph 3 under "History"
Two more locomotives were later acquired from outside sources, since this was cheaper than building new ones and since many narrow-gauge lines were closing down and selling their equipment. All three were given extensive renovations before entering service, including new boilers. Number 4 and the new number 5 are "Forney" locomotives, a type of tank locomotive. As an 1894 product of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, number 4 is the oldest locomotive in service at any Disney property.
[edit] Bullet 3 under "Locomotives"
3: Fred Gurley, built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1894, went into service at Disneyland March 28, 1958. The locomotive, named for the then-current chairman of the ATSF, is the oldest single piece of railroad equipment in use at any Disney theme park. The 2-4-4T tank locomotive, used in Louisiana to transport sugar cane, was purchased in working condition for US$1300; nevertheless, more than $35,000 was expended on its restoration.
[edit] Locomotives
The "History" paragraph introduces "two more" locomotives, then tells us "all three" were given extensive renovations. I'm thinking this should be "both", not "all three".
And I don't know which locomotive is really the oldest, number 3 or number 4...?
[edit] Fred Gurley at Fullerton event
I added a listing for the Gurley 2008 appearance because I attended the event and witnessed it being there.Dgabbard (talk) 23:47, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I have it in print that it's a fellow named Pierre Renoudlet (sp?) - Lucky 6.9 22:03, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] GA Re-Review and In-line citations
Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.
