WVXU Impact Cincinnati as a reference

"Citations needed" added. There's a number of "benefits" listed that cite Impact Cincinnati's WVXU interview; said interview does not provide sufficient information to investigate claims of benefits. Impact Cincinnati themselves aren't a sufficiently unbiased source to take statements at face value. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.29.9.104 (talk) 00:43, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Interstates in the 1940s? Not.

With the creation of Interstates 71 and 75 in the 1940s citizens were able to [...]?

Not likely.

Did the expressways that eventually carried those route designations get built in the 1940s? Could be, but I have no idea. Someone with local knowledge needs to fix that! --plaws (talk) 00:27, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

I-71 opened in 1960; I-75 was built between 1941 and 1963. 24.29.9.104 (talk) 00:57, 8 November 2013 (UTC)Ubiquitousnewt

Why aren't there separate articles for the historic system and the 21st Century system?

Why aren't there separate articles for the 20th Century historic system and the 21st Century system? They are merely related topics, which should link to one another, but they share zero infrastructure, personnel, routes, so merit separate articles. Geo Swan (talk) 15:58, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I agree. I think splitting the two streetcar systems off into two articles makes more sense than a combined article. I don't see a close relation or continuity other than the systems having been located in the same city? Candleabracadabra (talk) 22:08, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

What would the appropriate article titles be? Candleabracadabra (talk) 22:10, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

I've split them now, and moved the historical content to Streetcars in Cincinnati, which is the American English equivalent of the standard format for such articles, based on dozens of "Trams in ..." articles already on Wikipedia and a small number of "Streetcars in ..." titles for the relatively few U.S. ones that have been written. (A much larger number of U.S. articles have been written that concern only a particular operating company, but for the broader topic, this is the most appropriate title, per the manual of style.)

I didn't see these two posts until after I had made the split, but this split is something I've been intending to do for several months, almost ever since the new system was given a formal name, Cincinnati Streetcar, if no one else did it. (I was hoping someone else would.) Someone now needs to expand the lead section of this article, to a few sentences at least, summarizing the key points. It's currently only two sentences, which is much too short relative to the overall length of the article. SJ Morg (talk) 11:32, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

• For comparison, the Toronto streetcar system has about a dozen legacy routes, that date back to the golden age of streetcars, and a handful of new lines, built or building in the last fifteen years or so. Each of the still extant legacy routes has a stand-alone article, like 510 Spadina, I recently added Spadina streetcar line (1923–1948) and Toronto Railway Company Belt Line -- articles about former routes. When I find a comparable number of references about former routes I plan to add stand alone articles about them too. Geo Swan (talk) 02:58, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Inclines?

What are the "inclines" refered to in this article? How does one "install" an incline?

That is common American English for funicular, and short for inclined railway, and the word Incline (without "railway") was often part of the names of these railways in the U.S. One of Cincinnati's former inclines is illustrated in the article Streetcars in Cincinnati (in this photo). I have added a wikilink to the article to aid those readers unfamiliar with the term. SJ Morg (talk) 08:51, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Diagram missing one station

The diagram only has 17 stations (s/b 18). The diagram is missing the 7th & Walnut/Aronoff Center Station. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.106.211.147 (talk) 21:40, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

I have added the missing stop (and updated the other names in line with the official system map). However, there is now too much space between the names and the diagram itself (see Template_talk:Cincinnati_Streetcar#Spacing). Sorry about that. Am working out how to fix the problem -- but perhaps someone else can beat me to it! -- Picapica (talk) 11:56, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
