Now that New Jersey Transit has token over the Clocker service from Amtrak, as of October 31, 2005, should the title of the page be changed, perhaps to Clocker (New Jersey Transit) and the exisiting page be shifted to a redirect? Alansohn 21:27, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

A fine idea except for one thing: NJT has no Clockers! The name died over the weekend. I've changed everything (I think) to past-tense, but I don't know some of the nitty-gritty details. If anything, there should be a new article on the original Pennsy Clockers. --N5UWY/9 - plaws 21:49, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

The commuter club using the Clockers was disbanded when NJT took over the trains. Ken S. 17:15, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Understood. So how about something like Clocker (Train service) which would be an article entirely from the historical perspective. Leaving the Amtrak in the title made sense whole Amtrak was offering the service but could lead to the impression that it still does.

Another fine idea. I don't think "Train service" is the Wikipedia convention - let me do some research. --N5UWY/9 - plaws

No convention found. I do see many discontinued Amtrak trains marked as "Train name (Amtrak)", so there is precendent for that ... --N5UWY/9 - plaws

It would be either Clocker (Amtrak) or Clocker (passenger train). Right now I'm making an article at Northeast Corridor Line (which had redirected to Northeast Corridor) and mentioning the changes there. --SPUI (talk) 17:17, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
