[edit] Detailed Biography of George Francis Train

The bottom of the article states that it "incorporates text" from a book by Allen Foster. More than merely incorporating, however, this entire section feels like it was copied and pasted directly from that source, reading more like a magazine than an encyclopedia. As the editor that added this section has only one other article contributed to, and that being a blatant advertisement for another book by Allen Foster, I am concerned that there might be some self-promotion going on here. --199.80.13.96 22:29, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 67 days or 80 days
