Talk:Panacea (disambiguation)

message: I've lived in the Florida panhandle for 30 years from Pensacola to Tallahassee and have never heard the Big Bend region--from Appalachicola east and south to Cedar Key-ish--called the "armpit" except derisively or humorously.  While it is an apt description and conveys all of its summer-time swampy glory, Lest we change all of the Central- and South-Florida cities' entries to reflect the pudundic resemblances of the peninsula, let's refrain from metaphoric names for regions that have accepted semi-offical ones.  I have changed the wording on this entry to minimize the insult to the Eastern Panhandle and to include "gulf coast."  If "Big Bend" is unacceptible for someone, please use "Eastern Panhandle," not "armpit"; it's just bad wiki-ing.--128.186.13.112 17:38, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Prompted by the question of when Amtrak served Wayne, I've started looking into this period. It's a bit murky, compounded by the fact that Amtrak listed the trains on its timetables during a period when Penn Central operated them and they were considered commuter rail. I haven't successfully tracked down a Paoli Local timetable from that period, but I do have a Penn Central ETT from November 14, 1971, and it shows the 600-series trains, particularly 601, making more stops than what Amtrak listed in its own timetable.

Talk:16th Street station (Oakland)

message: I notice that the list of stations included as rated of "low importance" by the Wiki rail project appear to be all commuter train stations.  The 16th Street Station was primarily a regular train station, in fact, it was the principal depot for Oakland serving the Transcontinental Line (The Overland).  SP's commuter lines were run to the depot so that commuters could make easy connections with the mainline trains. Tmangray 15:15, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Union Station (Louisville)

message: "It was stated to be the largest railroad station in the Southern United States, covering forty acres (16 ha).[2]"
Given that Louisville is on the banks of the Ohio River (just across from Indiana), and that  Kentucky was a Union (though slave) state during the Civil War, it's rather difficult to think of Louisville as a "southern" city. It is only the most liberal definition of "southern" that lets Louisville be so included. 66.234.220.195 (talk) 19:55, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Kentucky is generally classified as a southern state, so Louisville tends to get lumped in with that. Louisville also has a tradition of backing the confederacy (ironically not until after the war was over), there are a lot of influential ex-confederates in Louisville history, confederate memorials, etc. So it's not such an out-there statement, especially historically. Also consider the L&N railroad's obvious ties with the Southern states, as opposed to the northern or midwest. --Rividian (talk) 21:40, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Fort Worth Central Station

message: If this is the station that I think it is (I am not in the area), then this is a fairly old facility, and I'm guessing it originally served the M-K-T railroad given the north-south orientation. However I am almost positive that The Texas & Pacific Depot used to be the Amtrak station in Fort Worth. At any rate the Amtrak trains used to use the former T&P/then MoPac/now UP line that passed through Arlington so it would make sense those trains would've ended up at the former T&P station. At any rate it would be interesting to read more about the station(s) history, if possible. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 02:48, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Intermodal Transportation Center has been constructed within the last 5 years, it was thus never used for passenger service prior to Amtrak.  The former T&P station is now used by Trinity Railway Express (with condo development on the upper floors).  The former AT&SF station (which was used by Amtrak until the ITC opened) has been totally refurbished and restored to its original glory, and is now used as a special events center, known as Ashton Station.RI-Bill 22:06, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Lancaster station (Pennsylvania)

message: From the initial research I've done, this station has undergone a somewhat large-scale renovation beginning in 2009 and presumably still underway as of now (early 2011). I was at the station last month and the construction appeared to be fairly significant; however for Wikipedia purposes that is merely original research. This construction should be mentioned in the article; however not until it can be cited by reliable sources. Once complete, a photo of the station (updated) would be beneficial.
I have identified a few newspaper articles in the Lancaster Intelligencer - such as this one - but this newspaper's website seems to archive articles quickly, which is not ideal for verifiability. Is anyone aware of an alternate reliable source that has published articles on the subject of this train station reconstruction?  Cheers, Jeff Bedford (talk) 15:29, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Specifically, it met deletion criteria WP:A7 because WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:GNG were not demonstrated.
