Talk:Lackawanna Terminal (Montclair, New Jersey)

Rename=Montclair Lackawanna Terminal
Since this station never really operated as a New Jersey Transit station, the article should be renamed Montclair Lackawanna Terminal. Additionally, there should be some clarification on whether it was built in 1912 or 1913. DanTD (talk) 15:22, 19 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I added a reference for it opening in 1913 (an article in the New York Times from 1913). I agree that the article should not have its current name - it closed in 1981 before NJT took over the line in 1983, but I don't think "Montclair Lackawanna Terminal" would be the best title.  First, was this known as "Lackawanna Terminal" or "Lackawanna Station?"  Based on the pictures of the inside of the mall and the arch outside, it seems like it is currently known as "Lackawanna Station".  Also, I do not think the station was ever called "Montclair Lackawanna Station" (or "Terminal"), but rather Lackawanna Station/Terminal in/at Montclair.  Similar to the Pennsylvania Station articles, I think "Montclair" should be in parentheses as in Lackawanna Station (Montclair) or Lackawanna Terminal (Montclair).  Lackawanna Terminal currently is a redirect to Hoboken Terminal.  Maybe it should be turned into a short overview page with links to all of the Lackawanna terminals/stations.  --Scott Alter (talk) 03:12, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Lackawanna Terminal (Montclair). I've never heard Montclair Lackawanna Terminal. Mitch 32(Growing up with Wikipedia: 1 edit at a time.) 03:38, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, so we've got the opening year straightened out. But as for the new name DL&W was never just in New Jersey, so if we're going to put the city in parentheses, it should be Lackawanna Terminal (Montclair, New Jersey). DanTD (talk) 11:47, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Another thing; Do we really need that Photo Request tag at this point? DanTD (talk) 13:30, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Removed the tag, and yeah the disambig is useful. Any event how do we not know when it was opened? Its always been opened in 1913. I don't know how that is disputable. Mitch 32(Growing up with Wikipedia: 1 edit at a time.) 14:36, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The Bay Street (NJT station) article previously said it was 1912, but now that we have the reference proving otherwise, we can put that issue to rest. DanTD (talk) 15:05, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * UPDATE - I just renamed it. DanTD (talk) 17:17, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

There are substantial editing errors towards the bottom of the article.
This article requires some cleaning up. There are some pretty noticeable writing errors towards the end, as well as a general lack of objectivity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8C:C101:5836:3C18:35AA:5532:F751 (talk) 21:46, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
