Names seem to be multiplying. We have "Front Range Commuter Rail", "Ranger Express", and now "Rocky Mountain Rail Authority." This opens up the question of what we should call this article.

We should name it Rocky Mountain Rail Authority. Here's something I found on the website:
Front Range Commuter Rail (FRCR) was formed in 2004 as a Section 501(c)(6) non-profit corporation to promote the high-speed rail line along the Wyoming-Colorado-New Mexico Front Range. The scope of the region’s transportation needs have grown to include the Colorado I-70 mountain corridor and the name Front Range is not accurate. Official forms have been filed for FRCR to do business (DBA) as the Colorado Rail Association (CRA).
The Colorado Rail Association is a little too broad from this specific subject. We could use Ranger Express, as it's the specific name for the rail line, but as far as this article goes, we also want to cover the association that's currently doing the work. So I think Rocky Mountain Rail Authority is the best one. PerryPlanet 18:56, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
