User:DanTD/DanTD's Railroad-Related Projects/DanTD's Metro-North Railroad-Related Projects

Despite the fact that Metro-North Railroad is close enough to part of Long Island, I never had an opportunity to use the system until 2011. Nevertheless I had to write about them.

Let it be known that I refuse to recognize the recent campaign to eliminate railroad systems from station names over the excuse of unnecessary disambiguations, with the exception of Grand Central Terminal, Stamford Transportation Center, Union Station (New Haven, Connecticut), and certain former stations. The fact that some stations also serve Amtrak, Shore Line East, and the Hartford Line trains makes no difference.

Articles I created

 * 138th Street (NYC station)
 * 183rd Street (NYC station)
 * Claremont Park (NYC station)
 * Highbridge (Metro-North station)

 * Talmadge Hill (Metro-North station)

 * Reformatted the station list for the New Canaan Branch
 * Reformatted the station list for the Danbury Branch (although many of the former stations were moved to the Danbury and Norwalk Railroad article).
 * Reformatted the station list for Harlem River and Port Chester Railroad (not really Metro-North either, but it is connected to the New Haven Line)

Articles I want to create

 * Very little can be done in the way of new articles. There are certainly some pictures I'd like to capture, and I'd also like to find out how many more Metro-North stations used to be Amtrak stations, if any.
 * Grand Central Terminal in popular culture, if the movie list at Grand Central Terminal becomes too big and is tagged or deleted.
 * Consider articles on connecting railroads that were integrated into the system long ago, like the New York and Mahopac Railroad.
 * Find out about the former Mount St. Vincent (NYCRR station), and see if I can redirect it to either Riverdale (Metro-North station) or Ludlow (Metro-North station).
 * Verify and expand history on Bedford Hills (Metro-North station), Mount Vernon East (Metro-North station), and Larchmont (Metro-North station), as well as others.
 * Create or persuade somebody else to create combined Metro-North-Amtrak style infoboxes for the following stations:
 * Yonkers
 * Croton-Harmon
 * Poughkeepsie
 * New Rochelle
 * Stamford
 * Bridgeport
 * New Haven
