[edit] Park Avenue Tunnel should not redirect here
The Park Avenue Tunnel is the much longer tunnel from Grand Central to 125th Street, which is still in use. I'm not sure how to change the redirection.... 69.202.67.35 (talk) 10:46, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- Concurred. Though where should Park Avenue Tunnel redirect (do we need a disambiguation page listing links to the Murray Hill tunnel and also to the others (or at least the railroads that now use them)? Do people refer to the Murray Hill one as "the Park Avenue Tunnel", since I think it's the only one that non-railroaders need to identify? DMacks (talk) 20:33, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- I agree ... I have a nice pic of the 97th Street portal from the front of a train I'm going to be uploading to Commons soon; and I will put a split proposal here. If no one objects after a few days, I will create the article. Daniel Case (talk) 16:27, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- Here's the image in question. Not perfect ... I had to blow it up since the picture I had planned to take as the tunnel approached was ruined by the flash going off (I was riding in an M1, in which this sort of unobstructed forward view is possible for a regular passenger). But it'll do, until and unless we get a better one. Daniel Case (talk) 16:45, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- Absolutely agree. Park Avenue Tunnel is _the_ official and proper name of the railroad tunnel. The tunnel needs its own article (it's way too important not to have one), and should get its proper name for a title. Many people may incorrectly believe that the name refers to the motor vehicle tunnel, but this is a clear case where official name trumps most common name, as the incorrect name causes confusion.oknazevad (talk) 20:49, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
