Talk:West Baltimore station

message: User:Sebwite reverted to a version with several factual inaccuracies or other problems, some arguably BLP violations:
* The source does not say he was "planning to assassinate President George W. Bush." It says "Law enforcement sources told 11 News that Seeley made statements to transit authority police that he was going to shoot the president." There's a significant difference there, both in the fact that it's reported as hearsay, not as established fact, and that it does not mention Bush by name. And of course, it later became clear that that the law enforcement source was incorrect, misunderstood, or just plain made something up. At most, we can say something like "Law enforcement sources were initially reported to have claimed that Seeley stated he was going to shoot the president, but this was later determined to be incorrect."
* The source says "the cab driver told them Seeley wanted a ride to his home in Washington, D.C., and mentioned the White House", not that he asked for a ride to the White House.
* Seeley's full name is never given.
* The second link is dead. I replaced it with a working link with the same headline, but it was reverted. Why?

message: The Maryland Transit Administration plans to add around 400 new parking spaces at the West Baltimore MARC station.
Two new commuter lots, slated for east of Pulaski Street, will cost about $9 million to build and would double the station’s parking. The new lots are temporary until a planned redevelopment around the station begins by 2013.

message: The history section is a bit of a mess. Conrail took over the Penn Central's commuter trains on what is now called the Penn Line in 1976. In 1979 that service stood at four round trips. It was subsidized by the state of Maryland through the State Railroad Administration, a forerunner of the Maryland Transit Administration. Separately, Amtrak ran the Chesapeake between Washington and Philadelphia, making local stops, including this one. It was subsidized by Pennsylvania and Maryland. The Northeast Rail Services Act of 1981 gets Conrail out of the commuter service for good on January 1, 1983. The Penn Line falls under something called AMDOT (Amtrak Maryland Department of Transportation), which I assume is Amtrak operating the Penn Line under contract to the Maryland Department of Transportation. The Chesapeake, separate from all of this, ends in October 1983. We're lacking documentation on why. All of these services went to Edmondson Avenue, the current station's predecessor.

replies: text: I've added a bit to MARC Train#History, which I still need to take the time to finish. I've also completely rewritten the history here, hopefully with sufficient clarification. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:23, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: . Thanks; looks good. I tweaked a little, and added relevant categories to the Edmondson Avenue station redirect. Mackensen (talk) 01:48, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

text: How sure are we about "Edmondson Avenue" vs "Edmondson"? My Official Guides list it as the latter, but do refer to "Frederick Road" and not "Frederick". Conrail timetables also use "Edmondson". Mackensen (talk) 02:01, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  The NRHP nomination also drops Avenue, but most other sources seem to have it. The former Calverton and [West] Lafayette stations seem to be the reverse - some sources use the street names, but most don't. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:18, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  If we're relying on Shappell for this, via Baer, I think he's simply wrong. The PRR documents I'm looking at don't use "Avenue". McCord doesn't capitalize "avenue" in the newspaper article about its closure, which I think means he's speaking generally (he also incorrectly refers to "Frederick avenue" instead of "Frederick Road"). I've a Penn Central employee timetable from 1971 which lists "Edmondson" and "Frederick Road", and also refers explicitly to "Edmondson Station." Amtrak calls it "Edmondson Ave" in the Chesapeake timetable, but in a context where every other listed stop is a city. No formal station names are used. Mackensen (talk) 13:28, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
