Line 1: Line 1:
I'd like to point out that while the last edit adds some information that is true, assuming that the previous information was untrue and deleting it was not necessary the correct thing to do. For 100 years the DAR has listed these stations under their Halifax subdivision on every single schedule and of course had every right to with their running rights from the Town of Windsor to Halifax.
 
  
I would suggest that the "Halifax Subdivision" wording be put back in and a parenthesis indicating the particular stations on the Beford and subsequent CN Sub continue to be included.
 
(Halifax, Armdale, Fairview Junction, Rockingham, Bedford, Windsor Junction)
 
 
The paragraph added indicating that:
 
"The DAR had running rights over CN's Bedford Subdivision from Windsor Jct. to Halifax, which it used until 1992." needs to properly indicate that the running rights were in fact from Windsor to Halifax the way I understand it.
 
 
Therefore:
 
*[[:Category:Subdivision Halifax|Halifax Subdivision]] (CN Bedford Subdivision), Mile 0 (from [[Halifax]])
 
The DAR had running rights over CNR track from Windsor to Halifax, which it used until 1992.

I reviewed some of the employee timetables and yes, you are correct Steve, the above metioned stations are listed under the Halifax Subdivision. My mistake. However; I think a note should be made on Halifax, Armdale, Fairview Junction, Rockingham, Bedford, Windsor Junction station pages; indicating they are located on the Canadian National.

This actually creates another problem, because the DAR had running rights into Halifax before CN was created (IIRC). Should Intercolonial and Nova Scotia Railway be mentioned as well?

You have also brought up some additional good points.
 
 
Perhaps the best course is to remember that the primary subject is the DAR on our wiki. Other interesting facts that are not DAR are of course welcome but do not bear the same weight as if they were DAR. So regarding the fact that part of the subdivision may also be listed under CNR and ICR it still needs to take a second line to the fact it was in the DAR Halifax Sub.
 
 
Perhaps we should now remove the CNR Sub from the first line and only make mention of the fact that certain stations are also in the CNR sub within the general page on the Halifax sub and not on each indivual location page. This would be the same treatment that we gave the other locations from other lines that were taken over by the DAR.

That sounds fine Steve.
