[edit] Englewood Station

Started doing the research for the Englewood station article. It served trains from the NYC, PRR as well as the Rock. What should I change the link to? Englewood, Chicago (station)? Englewood (NYC station) doesn't seem to be appropriate here. Gws57 15:47, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

Looking at the format of links in {{Chicago terminals}}, I'd suggest Englewood Station (Chicago). There probably was a station in Englewood, Colorado (don't have my references handy right now), and this fits in with other Chicago station article names. slambo 17:45, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
Looks good - I've made a few redirects. --SPUI (talk) 00:11, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
