Talk:SunRail

message: I wrote to the Central Florida Commuter Rail commission, and asked them about the alleged use of the former Sanford (Amtrak station), as well as the possibilty of using former Amtrak stations in Longwood & Winter Park, and I received the following response.
Thanks for your interest in the proposed Central Florida Commuter Rail project. The Wikipedia site is incorrect. We will not be using the Amtrak station in Sanford as a station stop. The Sanford station stop, as is detailed on the project homepage www.cfrail.com, is located just north of State Road 46 and the railroad tracks. Similarly, you can review the location of the Longwood station, north of State Road 434 off Ronald Reagan Blvd., by clicking on the interactive map on the homepage of the www.cfrail.com website, which is the official project website. If you have any additional questions, or I can be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Well, here are the details for Sanford. And to my surprise, they're considering reusing(Brace yourselves...) Church Street Station! ---- DanTD 01:47, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The new service will be called SunRail; here is the Press Release and logo: The Central Florida Commuter Rail Commission Welcomes SunRail. Should the name of this article be changed now? Gamweb (talk) 23:30, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Update 

message: Recent news is that they've picked a design for the trainsets. It would definitely make a good image for the article; view it here. Question is, does it do under :Commons:Template:PD-FLGov like the other image, or does the copyright belong to the original artist versus being PD from state gov't?

thread_title: Train design image

message: Some time in the next few days, maybe tonight if I find enough time, I'm going to create a template for a SunRail station article. I'm going to create the article Sand Lake Road (SunRail station), and base it on those found for Washington MetroRail. Specifically, I'm going to use the one for New Carrollton Station since it is a line terminus.
Hopefully, we can build station articles by the time they open service on May 1. Obviously, station articles aren't needed for the Amtrak stations that are going to be used, and are already linked. --Kitch (Talk : Contrib) 18:38, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Awesome! I would recommend using commuter rail station articles as the basis, but there's not a lot of differences anyway. Newmarket (MBTA station) is one I've created for a new station that I'm fond of. There'll need to be SunRail s-line templates and style templates; I'll try to get those done in the next couple days.

replies: text: I've got a sandbox for the Florida Hospital (SunRail station) started, and I've considered Longwood and Sanford/State Road 46 station as well. Today I took a tour of SunRail, and I snapped some pictures of DeBary, Florida Hospital, and Longwood. That train looked more crowded than the IRT Flushing Line. ---------User:DanTD (talk)  23:54, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for getting all those pictures - they were a nice surprise when I checked Commons today. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 16:42, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Your welcome. But I honestly wish I did more. I missed the chance to get them from Sanford/State Road 46, and the one I took from Lake Mary sucked balls. Most of the others I really didn't bother with. ---------User:DanTD (talk)  22:41, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: I can tell you right now; Even when they start taking only paid passengers, they're going to exceed their ridership estimates. In the meantime, who wants to gather more pictures of some of the other stations? ---------User:DanTD (talk)  04:08, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Estimated boardings 

message: while I appreciate the work you've put into this section, incidents are generally not included for rail lines unless they result in injuries or deaths on board, simply because there are so many non-notable grade crossing accidents and trespasser strikes that including all of them would result in them receiving undue weight in the articles. In the US in 2014 there have been 1010 derailments, 1873 grade crossing accidents (203 with fatalities), and 803 trespasser strikes (454 fatal); Wikipedia is not the place to document them. Articles should be limited to notable incidents like accidents that generate truly substantial press coverage, particularly those that get their own articles.

message: Evidently SunRail has renamed one of their proposed stations. Osceola Parkway (SunRail station) has been named Tupperware (SunRail station) presumably for a Tupperware factory or office in Hunter's Creek. ---------User:DanTD (talk)  21:15, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
