[edit] Branching?

According to the San Joaquins article, there are two routes north from Modesto: one to Sacramento and one to Oakland. Sacto trains go to the Stockton (ACE station) (Cabral Station), while Oakland trains go to the Stockton (Amtrak station).

At this point, I haven't figured out how to set up the succession box to describe this, although it looks like the "branch" parameter is probably the way to go. I'm putting this note here as either a reminder to myself how to carry on when I have time, or in the hopes that some other editor more savvy with the S-line templates can pick up on this sooner.--NapoliRoma (talk) 13:00, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, I think I've fixed it, by cribbing the s-jnct syntax used on the Stockton (Amtrak station) page. This may not be the shiny new way to do it, but it has the all-important virtue of working... .

I've also updated both Stockton pages (which now have redirs patterned after the names used on the official Amtrak schedule: Stockton - San Joaquin Street and Stockton - Downtown), the Antioch-Pittsburg page and the Lodi page.--NapoliRoma (talk) 20:26, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
