Earwig says good to go.

• File:Lake Street station, circa 1915.jpg: good, valid public domain rationale—published prior to 1928;
• File:Floral display at Lake Street station, 1905.jpg: good, valid public domain rationale per above;
• File:Former site of Lake Street station (1), September 2022.jpg: good, CC-BY-SA 4.0, uploaded to Commons by nom (thanks!).

• "In 1876, town officials" – nitpicking, but do the sources say what role these town officials had? The word choice is fairly vague.
  •  Done Clarified.
• "the B&M held contests among its station agents to create floral displays at its station." – was this at the station or in the station? Additionally, were these displays intended for the station or does the source not say? Also;
• "[…] create floral displays at its station." – recommend "[…] create floral displays at the station." to avoid repeating the previous its station earlier in the same sentence.
  •  Done Reworded in a way that should fix both points.
• "In 1926–27" – recommend "Between 1926 and 1927".
  • I tend to reserve "between" for ranges; construction took place in 1926 and 1927.
    • Noted!
• "the only surviving stations of the Lexington Branch are Bedford and Lexington" – sentence is missing a period.
  •  Done

Spotchecks on refs 1, 2, 7, 15, 19 and 21 show no concerns—they all support the article's content. I had access to confirm ref 21 via a preview on Google Books.

• Ref 2 is missing a publication date.
  • This document is an odd one - it's updated a few times a year, hence why I don't have the date in the template. I can add an accessdate if really necessary, but I don't personally think it's needed.
    • Ah, I see. Well, for cite web templates dates are not required so I doubt they are needed in this case either.

Templates (including infobox and coords), external links and cats good.

• Add a WP:Short description.
  •  Done
• Recommend adding template:Use X English
  •  Done
• Recommend adding template:Use mdy dates
  •  Done

Thanks for the WP:ALT text!
