Would somebody like to update Shore Line East's route map to include West Haven? Also, I am not sure about West Haven's milepost. I invite anybody to add that to the article.Raryel (talk)17:08, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

•  Done Grabbed the milepost from the Northeast Corridor article, and added it to the prose. Map template updated as well.Pi.1415926535 (talk)05:22, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The line station sequence in the infobox has a link to Connecticut River. This is misleading because all of the other station links actually link to the articles on the station, e.g., New Haven RR station, New London RR station. Unfortunately, there is no way to edit the box, so as to remove the link that presently links to the Connecticut River, instead of to an article on the Connecticut River station.Dogru144 (talk)23:52, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's intentional. The Connecticut River is a geographic feature; there hasn't been a "Connecticut River" station since... at least the 60s. (It was located on Ferry Road in Old Saybrook, but was long gone before SLE came into existence.) Normally RDTs like this do not include geographic features; however, the two bridges are relevant as they limit the ability to increase service levels.Pi.1415926535 (talk)00:53, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is a Connecticut Dept of Transportation operation. Yet, there is at least one photograph with a train being pulled by an Amtrak locomotive. This is confusing. Aren't Amtrak engines supposed to pull Amtrak trains?Dogru144 (talk)23:52, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is explained in the "Rolling Stock" section. ConnDOT bought 8 P40DC Genesis locomotives from Amtrak; they are still in Amtrak paint but the Amtrak logo has been painted over.Pi.1415926535 (talk)00:55, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. However as of 2021, they will no longer have the Amtrak scheme, instead they will now wear the CTrail scheme already used on the rebuilt GP40-3Hs and BL20GHMs (the latter doesn't operate on CTrail but is painted in the scheme regardless, minus the text).--Davidng913 (talk)18:35, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone please update the map to include the future stations of Mystic and Westerly--JJBers (talk)13:32, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The extension to Mystic and Westerly is currently an unfunded proposal, certainly behind at least three other projects (Last burst of funding for the Hartford Line, Hartford-Waterbury, CT River Bridge) in the funding queue in the state. It has also not entered any kind of environmental review phase. AS such, it would be drastically premature to put it on the KML map. Just because we railfans want something to happen, doesn't mean it actually will.Pi.1415926535 (talk)16:05, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry, this being an interesting article, but I am applying immediate failure. The section "Rolling stock" is holding since February 2015 a "refimprove" banner and two sentences in the section are tagged for citation. I am referring you toWP:WIAGA#Immediate_failures which has one of its conditions saying: "it has, or needs,cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid". The banner has been there for over a year and it must be said that this article should not have been brought to GAN until that issue has been resolved. I have giving me no option other than to be applying immediate failure. Thank you.Regards,Naz |talk |contribs10:35, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This being an excellent article now that the refimprove banner has been lifted, I am having no hesitation in passing, it is a GA review success. I would be recommending that this might be worthy of an FA nomination, it is easily the best article of those I have been reviewing to date. Very well done and thank you,Pi.1415926535.Regards,Naz |talk |contribs14:06, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This could apply to the whole article, but I'm wondering if it should be made clearer that this is a class of service (local), complementing numerous limited-stop intercity trains on the same route?Mackensen(talk)17:37, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Many railroad articles that include Roster's have a current in-service roster, and a past (retired units) roster. Just wondering if that would be a good idea here or not.Interstate Railfan (talk)15:16, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This seems like a good idea - could you reference some articles that have these rosters?TheKenster (talk)20:49, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've made a change to the station diagram removing service past new haven,based on the 2025 schedule. I am in progress of editing the page itself to reflect this change. If someone could edit the visual map, I would be grateful.TheManInTheBlackHat(Talk)15:06, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I reverted all my changes. The schedule I posted seems to only be for New Years Day, and not effective past then. Can someone confirm this? If not, my edits can be re-added.TheManInTheBlackHat(Talk)15:12, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheManInTheBlackHatThis appears to be the regular schedule and shows a single weekday round-trip west of New Haven to Stamford.Mackensen(talk)15:19, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
