Regional services

[edit]

Amtrak regional trains along the same corridor provided limited intercity service.

This is really nitpicky (and let me emphasize I'm impressed at how big this article has become), but I'm not comfortable referring to 1970s and 1980s era Northeast Corridor trains as "regionals," capitalized or no. It's a great shorthand now but it grew out of the short-lived Acela Regional branding which started around 2000 or so. While I'm nitpicking, service between Boston and Providence wasn't "limited," unless we're using that word in the sense "making few stops." I'm trying to come up with a better sentence.

Yeah, I was wondering how to word both those things. Nitpick and edit away. I would like to continue linking the regional trains, however we label them, to Northeast Regional, since the NR is exactly the same as those old named services. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:16, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
