• Eh, not quite – needing two boxcars (per source) isn't the same as filling two boxcars. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 07:22, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

  @Theleekycauldron: Thanks for the hook correction. I corrected the article to reflect the reference and we can correct the hook in the same manner "needed" not filled. I can promote if you can release the objection. Bruxton (talk) 19:42, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
