Basically all station codes linked on this page (ABE, ABN and so on) are false links leading to TLAs, and should be delinked. — Itai (f&t) 13:58, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Explanation
This list appears to be highly out of date, having some former stations and lacking some current stations. I will edit it with a current Amtrak timetable.--Railsmart 19:00, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Confusing station identification & listing of services
It seems like there is a range of treatment to stations served only by Amtrak Thruway Motorcoach or other contract bus services. Some are listed as Amtrak stations, while other bus stops are hosted by a business and are listed that way--"so and so mini-mart" or "such and such gas station". Still others are listed as "bus shelter" or "Greyhound lines" or "transit center bus stop", etc.
It seems to me the primary distinction is whether an Amtrak station is served by bus only, train only, or bus and train. The linked article can clarify the nature of the Amtrak service.
Also, I wonder in a list like this if its wise to list all the named Amtrak trains that serve the station, when the linked articles will do that. Should Chicago Union Station have a list of all the Amtrak lines that serve the station or shouldn't that be left to the article to carry that water--which it does in the station infobox. What do the users/editors of this article think? --Ltvine 04:25, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
