message: Despite my tenure here, I'm not really sure how to get a formal proposal on this but I think the title would be better as Penn Station (Baltimore), at least in modern times, I have never once seen or heard it referred to as Pennsylvania Station and Penn Station seems to be WP:COMMONNAME.

replies: text: What you should do is bring it up on relevant Wikiproject spaces, or with other transit writers like me, instead of just going ahead with it. I'll let you know, Pennsylvania Station (New York City) has had several requested moves to things like "Penn Station", but the consensus is always against that informal nickname, even if it's what most people use. The same applies here, I think. ɱ (talk) 03:40, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: Pennsylvania Station (Baltimore) →  – This is the most commonly used name in multiple official sources, in most secondary sources, and is known as this by the general public. Pennsylvania Station may be a valid expanded form, but Penn Station is sanctioned as the name for this station to a degree where calling it anything else makes it less recognizable. To that end, I am emphasizing that this request only pertains to this station and does not ask for anything related to other stations with a similar name. Many of those have been evaluated independently already, but I do not think the same reasoning is applicable in every case, which is why I am requesting this for Baltimore Penn Station.
It may be worth noting that the name "Baltimore Penn Station" also is helpful in that it naturally disambiguates better from Penn-North station, a metro station in Baltimore named after Pennsylvania Avenue. The inclusion of the city name in the station name both matches how it is commonly referred to, and adds context that it is an inter-city passenger rail hub. When I think of things named "Pennsylvania" as it pertains to features with more local relevance, I tend to think of Pennsylvania Avenue first, which is in a different part of the city than Penn Station.
