I know it's a borderline case, but would the Capitol Corridor fit the bill for this template? It has rather frequent headways and is often used by Oakland-San Jose and Sacramento-Bay Area commuters. --Jfruh (talk) 14:37, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-03T14:37:00.000Z","author":"Jfruh","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Jfruh-2009-08-03T14:37:00.000Z-Capitol_Corridor?","replies":["c-Strannik-2009-08-03T22:23:00.000Z-Jfruh-2009-08-03T14:37:00.000Z"]}}-->

• It's an Amtrak route, which makes it part of a national rail service rather then regional service. Because of that, I don't think it qualifies, even if it's headways are relatively frequent. --Strannik (talk) 22:23, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-03T22:23:00.000Z","author":"Strannik","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Strannik-2009-08-03T22:23:00.000Z-Jfruh-2009-08-03T14:37:00.000Z","replies":["c-Jfruh-2009-08-05T00:08:00.000Z-Strannik-2009-08-03T22:23:00.000Z"]}}-->

Fair enough. Thanks for creating the template! Just a minor nit: the header does say "currently operating," but the Northstar Corridor won't be up and running for a few months. --Jfruh (talk) 00:08, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-05T00:08:00.000Z","author":"Jfruh","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Jfruh-2009-08-05T00:08:00.000Z-Strannik-2009-08-03T22:23:00.000Z","replies":["c-Strannik-2009-08-05T09:24:00.000Z-Jfruh-2009-08-05T00:08:00.000Z"]}}-->

You are welcome. As far as Northstar Corridor goes...Can't disagree with you there. I originally included it because I wanted to balance out the columns and because it was supposed to open in a few months anyway. But mostly because of the columns. Bottom line is, you are right and it should probably be removed. --Strannik (talk) 09:24, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-05T09:24:00.000Z","author":"Strannik","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Strannik-2009-08-05T09:24:00.000Z-Jfruh-2009-08-05T00:08:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Should Hartford Line come under a separate "Connecticut/Massachusetts" heading, instead of just Connecticut, since the line terminates in Springfield, MA?

Because APTA lists the eBART line as a commuter rail system, not a light rail system, I am proposing to move the link to it from the light rail template to this template. Please chime in with opinions on the eBart talk page. --Jfruh (talk) 16:00, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-07-22T16:00:00.000Z","author":"Jfruh","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Jfruh-2020-07-22T16:00:00.000Z-eBART","replies":[]}}-->

Arrow is operated by Metrolink, and integrated with the Metrolink system in terms of branding, scheduling, fares, etc. In the Arrow (rail line) article we call it a Metrolink line, and we include it in the list of lines in the Metrolink template. It's a somewhat anomalous case, but I would argue it shouldn't get a separate listing here. --Jfruh (talk) 23:03, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230128230300","author":"Jfruh","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Jfruh-20230128230300-Should_Arrow_be_separate?","replies":[]}}-->
