Template:Metra line

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


This template is used to create a Prev/Next station and line info table row for articles about Metra stations. Arguments that can be used:

  • line (required) - The name of the Metra line as appears in Wikipedia, minus 'Line' if the name contains it. eg, Union Pacific/North, Heritage Corridor, Metra Electric, Milwaukee District/West. The template will translate this into a link to the line's article, and display the color used on the line's schedules. Incorrect line names will break the template.
  • previous - The name of the next station towards Chicago, as named in Wikipedia, minus (Metra). Redirects have been setup for well-known stations whose articles do not include (Metra) (eg Union Station (Metra) redirects to Union Station (Chicago)). Omitting this argument results in Terminus being displayed in the Previous box.
  • next - The name of the next mainline station away from Chicago, as named in Wikipedia, minus (Metra). Omitting this argument results in Terminus being displayed in the Next box.
  • branch - Used only when there is a brach off the mainline. The name of the next station on the branch. Adding this argument results in (Mainline) being put after the "next" station, and a second line marked (branch) with this station's name.
