Capitol Corridor?

edit

I know it's a borderline case, but would the Capitol Corridor fit the bill for this template? It has rather frequent headways and is often used by Oakland-San Jose and Sacramento-Bay Area commuters. --Jfruh (talk) 14:37, 3 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • It's an Amtrak route, which makes it part of a national rail service rather then regional service. Because of that, I don't think it qualifies, even if it's headways are relatively frequent. --Strannik (talk) 22:23, 3 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Fair enough. Thanks for creating the template! Just a minor nit: the header does say "currently operating," but the Northstar Corridor won't be up and running for a few months. --Jfruh (talk) 00:08, 5 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
You are welcome. As far as Northstar Corridor goes...Can't disagree with you there. I originally included it because I wanted to balance out the columns and because it was supposed to open in a few months anyway. But mostly because of the columns. Bottom line is, you are right and it should probably be removed. --Strannik (talk) 09:24, 5 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hartford Line

edit

Should Hartford Line come under a separate "Connecticut/Massachusetts" heading, instead of just Connecticut, since the line terminates in Springfield, MA? Mirza Ahmed (talk) 04:25, 19 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

eBART

edit

Because APTA lists the eBART line as a commuter rail system, not a light rail system, I am proposing to move the link to it from the light rail template to this template. Please chime in with opinions on the eBart talk page. --Jfruh (talk) 16:00, 22 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Should Arrow be separate?

edit

Arrow is operated by Metrolink, and integrated with the Metrolink system in terms of branding, scheduling, fares, etc. In the Arrow (rail line) article we call it a Metrolink line, and we include it in the list of lines in the Metrolink template. It's a somewhat anomalous case, but I would argue it shouldn't get a separate listing here. --Jfruh (talk) 23:03, 28 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
