Module talk:Adjacent stations/Rutland Railroad

Which lines
Some comments on the changes you've made: That would give us the following services: Ogdensburg–Alburgh, Rouses Point–Troy, Rouses Point–Bellows Falls, Bennington–North Bennington, Chatham Branch (Chatham–Bennington), Addison Branch (Fort Ticonderoga–Leicester Junction). I'll also add the Green Mountain Flyer/Mount Royal to give a sense of through services. Does that sound like a reasonable plan? Pi.1415926535 (talk) 18:24, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 * White Creek is not ideal to list as the terminus, since it was an arbitrary division point (state line) rather than a major station. Even by 1912 it was only served by a few trains, and by 1935 it was abandoned. I think we should list Troy as the terminus; it appears that all trains running past North Bennington went at least as far as Troy.
 * There were always an equal number of trains on the Rutland-Bellows Falls and Rutland-White Creek sections, and they were treated equally in the 1935 and later timetables; I'm not sure if we should assign one to be the "main" line. Perhaps we should just have Troy and Bellows Falls services, rather than designating one as the mainline.
 * The northern section is complicated. In 1912, mainline services ran north from Alburgh towards Montreal, with Ogdensburg–Alburgh treated as a branch line. In 1935, mainline services ran to Rouses Point, with no service north from Alburgh; schedules still showed Ogdensburg–Alburgh, though the two Ogdensburg round trips ran through to Rutland and south.
 * You are correct that the Rutland used a separate Rouses Point station from the D&H. However, it's not likely to be notable enough for a separate article. I'd like to have a paragraph about the Rutland station at Rouses Point station and point the Rutland templates there, rather than having a permanent redlink.
 * On the 1912 timetable, it looks like Bennington–North Bennington shuttles connected to mainline trains at North Bennington. We should not that train service, not just the later bus service.
 * White Creak appears in a 1952 official guide with no times listed, would that still be arbitrary or a flag stop? Also I'm unsure if Troy can be classified as trackage rights with regular Rutland engines, something to look into.
 * Now that you mention it, we could go with something similar to C&O listing a Main Line with a fork at the end. That could be with or without a notemid for either Troy and/or Bellows Falls.
 * Did the service north of Rouses Point use CN trackage rights to Montreal?
 * Bluelinking to the paragraph makes sense to me, as long as there's a note in the template.
 * How would you implement named trains in station succession?  Cards   84664   04:15, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not closely familiar with the Official Guides; I prefer timetables from the individual railroads when possible. Per this 1949 ETT, the B&M handled trains as far as North Bennington. I think we can put North Bennington as the terminus, and just note in that article that it was the interchange point.
 * Service north of Rouses Point was handled directly by the CN, not trackage rights.
 * Okay, I'll add that to the article.
 * No differently than the unnamed services - just like it's done for Amtrak trains. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:54, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
