Talk:JFK/UMass station

message: The article mentions a renovation, but doesn't say when it happens.  Isn't there also a neat thingy that tells you which track the next inbound train is coming on?  -- Beland 02:19, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

message: A statement is made "It is the only MBTA rapid transit station where trains from different branches of a line arrive on separate platforms; this is because the Ashmont and Braintree branches merge immediately inbound from the station. "
What about N. Station, (Green line level at) Park Street, Kenmore?  The green line maybe considered "light rail" however, is it not treated as Heavy Rail/Rapid Transit while at the fore-mentioned stations?  (Or in the case of N. Station Orange/Green) where they are side by side. (comment from User:CaribDigita)
:At Kenmore all branches use the same platforms; instead, they're split inbound/outbound. Same for Park Street. The Orange and Green Lines are separated, so the comment doesn't apply to North Station. The wording (legacy text from before my time) is thus technically correct, if badly phrased. You're welcome to make it clearer. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:35, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I tried to clean up the confusing platforms explanation, and hope I didn't make it worse.  It's the best I could do in between several other things I was working on.  I also noticed an inconsistency between the "South Shore Line" and "Braintree Branch", which are more or less the same thing, but not quite.  I started to clean it up, then realized that we should probably use the official MBTA terminology. I would guess that the South Shore name is more stable, since the terminus of the line changes over time (Quincy Center, then Braintree, then whatever is next).  There's nothing wrong with using an informal or shortcut name, but we should be clear about naming to start with, and reasonably consistent thereafter. Any suggestions?  --Reify-tech (talk) 00:02, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: The statement about only station

message: I have access to a couple different track maps of the JFK/UMass area, including a 1986 geographic map (still accurate) and the 2009 Bluebook. I'm tentatively planning to make my free-use map roughly geographic but with the N-S scale compressed (to make the map something other than awkwardly tall). Thoughts?

replies: text: Sounds like an excellent idea, including the vertical compression.  Reify-tech (talk) 18:02, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Great. I've got some ongoing business - I found the original source for high-res images of South Station, and a trove of SEPTA images to transfer to Commons - but I should be able to rig something up soon. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 18:36, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
