Merger proposal
I propose merging Lake Shore into the History section of the Lake Shore Limited, as a Lake Shore subsection. The 1975 train is essentially just a restoration of the 1972 train but with a Boston section. The names are nearly identical. There's only a little info on Lake Shore and it hasn't been substantively updated since 2010. I doubt the page could be greatly expanded since the train only existed two years. People would benefit from getting the full story on one page. QuincyMorgan (talk) 00:05, 29 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I (mostly) wrote the Lake Shore article in July 2010 before I had access to Craig Sanders' Amtrak in the Heartland. There may well be additional detail on the consist, and the funding difficulties. If this was a 403(b) state-supported train, then it's one of the first. Thoms in Reprieve for the Iron Horse may discuss that. None of this prevents a merge. Mackensen (talk) 00:43, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

I wouldn't be opposed to a merger. Sanders gives the Lake Shore about a page - enough to add another paragraph or two, but not so much that a merge would be unwieldy. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 02:33, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback, I performed the merge. I wouldn't be opposed to splitting it back out in the future if more content became available than could fit comfortably in the section. QuincyMorgan (talk) 17:46, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Wrong linked page in the Route Diagram
In the route diagram the linked page for Dunkirk station directed to a Dunkirk station in France, not New York.

I am new to editing, not sure how to edit it. Ljc132 (talk) 16:05, 4 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Fixed. We don't have an article on the topic; up until recently the French article was at Dunkerque station. Mackensen (talk) 17:24, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
