You recently changed the name of an article I created: Agnew Depot became Agnew station. your reasoning was cited as WP:USSTATION, though that provision states that
In some cases, a station has a common name that does not include the word "station". In those cases, default to the common name per the Use common names policy.
I bring it up in this case as the actual entry from the Santa Clara Historical and Landmark Commission (the most reputable source I can find) refers to this place as the Agnew Depot,[1] which is why I made it so at the start. I'm just not seeing a clear justification for this move. MJ (talk) 02:44, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
On 9 December 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Alewife station, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that artwork at Alewife station includes curved benches, neon art, and depictions of the namesake fish (pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Alewife station. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Alewife station), and it may be added to the statistics page if it received over 400 views per hour.

transit stations with art
Thank you for quality articles about rail transportation, such as Alewife station, State-of-the-Art Car and Charles/MGH station, for Marie Wittman, for uploading your photographs, for "I think I'm funny, even though I know I'm not." - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Your recent edits to Redding station (Metro-North) have left the article as a shriveled up stub. Without even a basic 'Station layout' section. I fail to see how this so-called "Cleanup" has helped the article at all. In fact, the article looks even worse than it did in 2006, when it was first created. I'll definitely expand the article, but I just wanted to let you know that I strongly disagree with your edit.__Kieran207 (talk) 01:18, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a reason why you are reverting the station articles to remove almost all of the content? I can see cleaning it up, but the extent to which you removed information seems too much.

To be fair, this is a thing that predates my additions. The only difference is now I'm adding citations and where they weren't before. Mitch32(sail away with me to another world.) 02:39, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I was wondering if you happened to know if a {{Infobox station}} style parameter exists for NYNH&H stations. I recently created the article Wall Street station (New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad) and I would like to give it a NYNH&H-themed infobox. Would you happen to have any information? Thanks.----Kieran207(talk-Contribs) 22:56, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Pi, I noticed that the edits I made this morning to Westbrook station, which I had made to provide clarity for the infobox, since edits made to the adjacent stations module for the NY-area systems (and CTRail) last year have made common short turn patterns show in the infobox template. (This is visible on most stations for Babylon Branch stations west of Speonk, and Montauk Branch stations west of Speonk, for example; the infoboxes also note them to be short turn termini on their own pages because of this. The infobox's display at Westbrook, without that edit, reads "Old Saybrook, towards Old Saybrook or New London" because of how the Adjacent Stations module is set up as well; separating it seemed logical if short turns were to be displayed on the infobox page. (That said, I am not certain that displaying Old Saybrook as a common terminus is valid anymore, as only one train now continues to terminate there; unlike how most Shore Line East trains terminated at Old Saybrook in the past).
I'd really appreciate your insight, as I was preparing to begin editing other stations within the LIRR and MNCR systems with similar edits because I felt like it read better. It'd also be helpful because I've been planning on expanding and rewriting the articles for the MARTA rail system recently (as I've relocated from Boston to Atlanta several months ago), and the short turn pattern I wrote into Westbrook was one I had previously used for King Memorial station and other related stations on that system several weeks ago.

Turns out all but one of the remaining transclusions of {{MUNI icon}} was via {{MUNI legend}}, which I just removed: [1] (no change in presentation). The sole remainder is at Glen Park station. I looked around but couldn't find another example of a BART/MUNI connection presented in that way. MUNI Legend introduces a div and isn't suitable there. Thoughts?

As you may know, five digits of decimal coordinates exceeds the available precision of civilian GPS and internet mapping services. If one switches between Bing and Google, for instance, one will see the image leap around, typically by 0.1 arcsecs. Five digit decimal coordinates also cannot resolve, as they cannot round to D°M'S". Abductive (reasoning) 04:38, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide a source that indicates the closures are permanent... none of the MBTA resources use that term. As someone who attended a large number of the virtual public meetings in regards to the service changes, I can tell you that even MBTA executives never said the closures were permanent, only long-term temporary/indefinite. 2601:187:4581:7F50:894C:5219:203E:B7D9 (talk) 02:20, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you that we should not use the numbers from 2020 (or 2021) for the ridership figues, due to the ridership disruptions due to COVID.
The problem is that editors have already switched to 2020 figures at some articles like List of United States light rail systems by ridership. I didn't revert at the time, but now I think maybe this should be reverted... Thoughts? --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:08, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
