If an external links chapter still existed, I'd add one from [http://www.trainsarefun.com/sirt/sirt.htm Trains Are Fun]. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 12:41, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

To the editor on IP "2601:589:4E83:7B20:9564:81B9:2B3F:78F9", we are less interested in family roots than published sources.

Check [https://archive.org/details/statenislandname00davi_1/page/26/mode/2up?view=theater&q=PRINCESS this source] for some details on Prince's Bay vs. Princess Bay. Fabrickator (talk) 05:47, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

As of [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_the_Staten_Island_Railway&oldid=1258860414 this revision], the article is 18,264 words long, or almost exactly 111,000 characters of prose. Per WP:PAGESIZE, articles are typically split by the time they reach 15,000 words. Similarly to the NYC Subway history page, I propose that we split this page into three: History of the Staten Island Railway (1836–1899) (early history), History of the Staten Island Railway (1900–1970) (early and mid-20th century), and History of the Staten Island Railway (1971–present) (MTA era). – Epicgenius (talk) 01:49, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

:I think that split makes sense. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 14:32, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

:@Kew Gardens 613, thanks for your edit [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_the_Staten_Island_Railway&curid=48722130&diff=1276225283&oldid=1274712751 here]. Given how there might be a bit more to add from the Staten Island Advance, I think it may be a good time to revisit splitting this article. I will be going on vacation soon with very limited internet access, so I won't have time to split this now, but when I come back by April, we should probably draft up plans for a split. – Epicgenius (talk) 17:50, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

::A bit more is an understatement. Agreed on drafting plans then. Enjoy your vacation. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 22:20, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
