Trains Template‑class | |||||||

Is it really necessary to put former services in this template? It's already pretty cluttered. I mean, theoretically, we could go back to former servcies all the way back to the Penn Central days and beyond -- where would we draw the line? -- Jfruh 04:10, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
This is not really a Northeast Corridor train, it uses the Boston-Springfield line. Merely because a short section of terminal trackage is shared in Boston with NEC doesn't make it a "Northeast Corridor train", any more than Empire Service (Amtrak) would be considered NEC simply because Empire Service trains share a short stretch of tracks leading to Pennsylvania Station (New York).

I've reverted the changes by BUSHGOLDENSTATE ( talk · contribs) for the following reasons: this template covers all services on the Northeast Corridor, not just Amtrak ones; the dedicated Amtrak services on the corridor itself aren't "commuter" services. None of Amtrak's current operations on the corridor qualify as commuter; the only ones historically which might have would be the Clocker, Beacon Hill or Chesapeake.

@ Oknazevad: While I see your point about Shuttle trains being shown on NEC timetables, they fundamentally are not an NEC service. They only run on the NEC for 1.7 miles, and don't provide usable intra-NEC service. Pi.1415926535 ( talk) 07:26, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
