"minor, not encyclopedic" GCW


 * Keep, encyclopedic. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. --Patrick 10:27, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Whitehall segment had not seen a passenger train since 1936
Actually, segments don't have eyes. They don't "see", per se. This may be "journalism" but it isn't encyclopedic language. Either there had been passenger service or there hadn't. Just the facts. Dressing it up in informal language to "appeal" to people is tv-ish. Student7 (talk) 12:56, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

11,068 minutes of delay a mistake?
I know the cited article says so, but how's it possible for a train that runs one round trip per day to have 11,068 minutes of delay in a month? That's an average of 3 hours late. And this delay was eliminated by track work between Rutland and Whitehall, which is only 27 miles.

I think that might be a mistake in the Progressive Railroading article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by N1n2n3n4 (talk • contribs) 15:52, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Fares etc.
What do rides on this line cost? What is served in the cafe area on train and how affordable is it? Where/ how can tickets be obtained? Why is there talk of a "round trip" when there is only one route? Are all train stations accessible via public transport? 2A02:3031:1:D517:1:1:56B7:4545 (talk) 21:54, 4 January 2023 (UTC)


 * This isn't a forum, but if you think this stuff should be clarified in the article, keep in mind this isn't a travel guide like WikiVoyage.
 * Pricing depends on various factors and changes over time so it might be hard to say accurately and concisely. Most Amtrak route articles don't mention pricing.
 * Cafe details also vary and usually aren't listed in articles, see above.
 * Ticking info is more a WikiVoyage thing and can easily be found by a web search.
 * In American English, "round trip" means "there and back", but doesn't necessarily imply any sort of loop or second route. A train service with "one round trip per day" consists of two departure per day: one train running the route in each direction. This phrasing is consistent across all Amtrak articles.
 * Connection info is already present in the "Station stops" section of the article.
