Defunct bus lines

Be useful to have the year each line went defunct. Lentower (talk) 13:42, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

RfC: New Article Infobox Image

Pinging @Pi.1415926535 and @IliketrainsR211T -

I am in favor of adding Iliketrains' photo of the station. Showing the Commuter Rail & Orange Line side-by-side is helpful and gives a much wider visual outlook on the station. Plus, it is a brighter image taken on a sunnier day. We can talk about this more and hopefully arrive at a consensus soon.

Therefore, a vote from me for Option 1 as the opener of this RfC.

Option 1
Option 2 (current image)

While the trains are nice, the subject of the article is the station itself. Option 2 shows both platforms and the distinctive station structure; Option 1 only shows one platform. It was also taken with the trains and platforms fully in shadow, with only the sky bright; lightening it necessarily reduced the contrast, so it's rather flat at infobox scale. I have suggested to IliketrainsR211T that they take a photo from the same location as Option 2 with an Orange Line train entering the station, as that will be able to show both station and a train. If taken on a thinly-clouded day or with the sun high, it will likely have better lighting than either of the existing photos. Until then, I prefer Option 2.
