North Western Station not needed?

edit

North Western Station was substantially altered in the mid 1980s, but was renamed Ogilvie in the mid 1990s. Therefore, what was now Ogilvie was then Northwestern. Should not then North Western Station redirect here? Gws57 21:43, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

Most Chicagoans still refer to the station as North Western Station (in fact, even the CTA's buses that terminate at the station list it as "NW Station" on their display boards. North Western Station really has much more of a history than Ogilvie Transportation Center. --Boreas231 16:06, 25 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

The question was about having a separate article at North Western Station, which now redirects here. --SPUI (talk) 19:39, 25 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
By the most common name rule, this should redirect there instead of as it is now. --Dhartung | Talk 16:06, 1 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Old image question

edit

Was this staircase and lobby a former part of Ogilvie, or was it from a different C&NW Station in Chicago? ----DanTD (talk) 13:47, 21 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Pronunciation?

edit

Just a quick query: why were we using /ˈɡɪlv/ as the pronunciation guide before my edit? I speak with a Midwestern, Chicago-style accent, and everyone I know (not to mention myself) pronounces it as /ˈɡəlv/ with that nice little schwa. Am I missing something or should we leave it at that? --BrutusTheQuilt (talk) 2:00, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Table of former services B&O error

edit

The table of former services lists B&O. The furthest east terminal point is given as Jersey City. However, the B&O terminated its passenger services northeast of Baltimore to Jersey City in 1958.Dogru144 (talk) 04:48, 7 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
