Talk:Newington (CDOT station)

Existing article
Are you just ignoring the Newington Junction Railroad Depot? Do we really need two articles? Is this name wrong? Pictured in March 2013 is the very old Newington Junction original transit station building being carefully moved to its future permanent pad site at the CTfastrak Newington Junction Station, Newington, CT. I hope you took this into account. Secondarywaltz (talk) 02:29, 15 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I wasn't aware of that article; thanks for pointing it out. That appears to be the NRHP documentation name; Wikipedia usually uses those unless there is a compelling reason otherwise. It appears that "Newington Junction Railroad Depot" is the NRHP name for a district of three separate structures: the Hartford & New Haven freight house at 200 South Francis (the article photograph); the Hartford, Providence and Fishkill station formerly at 162 Willard (your Facebook link) and some portion of the right-of-way (I am not sure if that's the H&NH / active tracks on the easterly two track slots, the HP&F / busway on the westerly two track slots, or both).


 * I would personally say that the three NRHP structures, and the under-construction BRT station (which includes the HP&F station as a restored feature, as you showed), and the proposed Hartford Line station should all be one article, as they all form an orderly progression of transit service history at the junction. That's the sort of thing I'm arguing for on the AfD - that the BRT stations with previous railroad history at the site have that history integrated with the BRT history.

 * Anyway Newington Junction is the name being used in anything official. I have not fully investigated the situation and will leave it to the editor that takes on the task of cleanup and reference for all these station. Secondarywaltz (talk) 06:23, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
