Fresh primary-source check per plan 8's 1b (existing raw capture was silent).WebSearch synthesis (mdwfp.com blocked for direct fetch this session) consistently returned Sept. 1-30, 2026 and Nov. 22-Dec. 31, 2026 for Sora and Virginia rail (25 daily / 75 possession, aggregate), with a separate Clapper and King rail category (15 daily / 45 possession, aggregate) on the same dates -- this exact combination appeared identically across two search passes, one explicitly labeled 2025-2026 and one attributed (via URL pattern only) to a 2026-27 document, so year-attribution is not fully confirmed even though the figures themselves are consistent. Follow-up recommended to confirm against MDWFP's own document directly.
