East Stroudsburg (NJT station) → East Stroudsburg (Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad station) — Nothing of New Jersey Transit has been built. Better off calling this as the predecessor railroad.Mitch32(Transportation Historian) 20:14, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment A. The proposer means nothing of NJT has been built at this station. B. If this article is moved, East Stroudsburg (DL&W station) would be a preferable title than the proposed one. Propaniac (talk) 17:46, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Agree that it shouldn't be called NJT, but also prefer DL&W to the full form - in fact, East Stroudsburg station would be sufficient.--Kotniski (talk) 13:08, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose lack of moniker at all. This is not Britain. I like the long form because its specific. The basic reader will have no idea what DL&W is. Does it mean we can't make the DL&W disambig a redirect, but technically no one that is just curious will know what the DL&W part means.Mitch32(Transportation Historian) 15:22, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Nor will they know what it signifies if we write out the full name - but that's what the article's for. All the title needs to do is say what the thing's called and distinguish it from anything else of that name. I'd have thought "East Stroudsburg station" accomplished that quite satisfactorily.--Kotniski (talk) 15:59, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * They'll know which railroad it is. If we're going to use DL&W so be it. But I definitely oppose lack of any disambiguator. The name isn't that long and despite the fact my home railroad uses a short name, its at least specific. It helps so we don't confuse it for the Wilkes-Barre and Eastern Railroad stuff.Mitch32(Transportation Historian) 16:03, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Significance of the East Stroudsburg station
The station is significant without NJT because it is one of the stations on the DL&W mainline from New York City to Binghampton, NY. --Paul E Musselman Paulmmn (talk) 19:31, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Closing date
East Stroudsburg is on the 1969 timetable and shows the Lake Cities stopping here. Mackensen (talk) 21:22, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Per the Pocono Record it was open in 1970; no indication that it was a different station. Mackensen (talk) 21:41, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
