"Former services"
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).

- Good point, and similar reasoning for why I removed the LIRR. I would guess the guideline should be that a service warrants inclusion if, and only if, it shares more than one station with NEC regional trains.

Recent changes
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.
