Merger proposal

[edit]

I propose mergingLake Shore into the History section of theLake Shore Limited, as aLake Shore subsection. The 1975 train is essentially just a restoration of the 1972 train but with a Boston section. The names are nearly identical. There's only a little info onLake Shore and it hasn't been substantively updated since 2010. I doubt the page could be greatly expanded since the train only existed two years. People would benefit from getting the full story on one page.QuincyMorgan (talk)00:05, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I (mostly) wrote theLake Shore article in July 2010 before I had access to Craig Sanders'Amtrak in the Heartland. There may well be additional detail on the consist, and the funding difficulties. If this was a 403(b) state-supported train, then it's one of the first. Thoms inReprieve for the Iron Horse may discuss that. None of this prevents a merge.Mackensen(talk)00:43, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't be opposed to a merger. Sanders gives theLake Shore about a page - enough to add another paragraph or two, but not so much that a merge would be unwieldy.Pi.1415926535 (talk)02:33, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback, I performed the merge. I wouldn't be opposed to splitting it back out in the future if more content became available than could fit comfortably in the section.QuincyMorgan (talk)17:46, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong linked page in the Route Diagram

[edit]

In the route diagram the linked page for Dunkirk station directed to a Dunkirk station in France, not New York.

I am new to editing, not sure how to edit it.

Fixed. We don't have an article on the topic; up until recently the French article was atDunkerque station.Mackensen(talk)17:24, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image

[edit]
Old image
New image

I don't love the (new) current image, but it's not really better or worse than the old one. What I'd like to see from the main image is the New York section with the Hudson River in frame. Non-free examples:[1][2]. Peekskill has some locations where you could get a shot like that, but probably not until the next DST change in the spring. It's going to be too dark by the time either the north or southbound trains come through.Mackensen(talk)00:50, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My personal opinion is it should be a shot of the combined train, not just the Boston or New York section on its own.4300streetcar (talk)01:19, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That imposes some constraints given normal timekeeping. Westbound, you probably don't have enough light until South Bend. Not many great places to take a shot between there and Chicago. Eastbound, anywhere between Buffalo and Albany has enough light, but you would need to identify a location that (a) is accessible and (b) is interesting. Some of the canal lock locations along the Mohawk might qualify.Mackensen(talk)01:26, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that a shot of the combined train would be ideal. Until we have one, a shot of the NYC section is better than the Boston section, since it's closer to the length of the combined train.Pi.1415926535 (talk)02:03, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Reverting either way, user who swapped the image just got banned for socking.Cards8466417:55, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
