Deteriorated overpasses[edit]

The Philadelphia Inquirer had an article in 2009 on how deteriorated the overpasses at 52nd Street are. --DThomsen8 (talk) 17:03, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do they still have that link? A lot of newspaper websites kill their links. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 23:02, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Exact West Philadelphia neighborhood[edit]

Is this station considered to be in West Parkside, Carroll Park, or some other neighborhood? ---------User:DanTD (talk) 00:04, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article name[edit]

@Pi.1415926535: Amtrak stopped here, but apparently so did Conrail commuter trains (cf this post from Cameron Booth). An article in Railroad magazine from 1974 says it had 11 trains out to the Main Line in the mornings (it also said the station was built circa 1850, so who knows). This station would seem to more properly belong to the commuter network than Amtrak, particularly given that the Silverliner Service was making a single outbound pickup in 1974, and the same in 1979.

Yeah, for some reason, I thought Amtrak had served it longer, but it appears not. I've no objection to a move if you have a good name for it. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 02:04, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not opposed to returning to the Pennsylvania Railroad disambiguator; they built it and used it longer than anyone. The station's unimportant compared to 52nd Street station (SEPTA). Mackensen (talk) 02:13, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I've done it via line disambiguation after seeing a number of other Philly articles done that way. Mackensen (talk) 14:05, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image[edit]

@Mackensen: I'm trying to understand the circumstances that led to the image I just added to the infobox. GG1s weren't normally used for suburban service, and I don't know why one would have ended up on the upper level at 52nd Street. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 06:43, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In the absence of additional documentation I assume it's a Penn Central GG1 in commuter service. Doesn't look like a freight train. Mackensen (talk) 17:25, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
