[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)
[edit] General References
I have citations for several articles about the 20th Century Limited written by noted railroad historian and enthusiast Lucius Beebe. I would normally add them to the "References" section, but someone is using that for footnotes. Any suggestions? These articles are directly on point and provide great detail about the train, the passengers, and especially the food and drink offered onboard.VirginiaProp (talk21:02, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- Doing references in footnote style like this has become the preferred format for articles going through the GA and FA processes. However, there is no restriction that an article must have only footnotes. See California Southern Railroad, for example; that article lists both general references and specific footnote citations.
