Move?

I'd like to move this to Track 61 (Boston) to parallel Track 61 (New York City). Any objections?--agr (talk) 22:30, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, that's exactly where it should be. If Kevin as the creator and other significant author is on board, he can probably just go ahead and move it. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:42, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Works for me, so I have gone ahead and moved it. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 00:26, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of confusing changes over the years are discussed. It would be great if we had a map to explain those, but at the very least a map of the current route is needed. -- Beland (talk) 23:55, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Name

Why is it called "Track 61"? Were there 60 other tracks in this area? Which railroad named it? -- Beland (talk) 00:11, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
