[edit] North Western Station not needed?

North Western Station was substantially altered in the mid 1980s, but was renamed Ogilvie in the mid 1990s. Therefore, what was now Ogilvie was then Northwestern. Should not then North Western Station redirect here? Gws57 21:43, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

Most Chicagoans still refer to the station as North Western Station (in fact, even the CTA's buses that terminate at the station list it as "NW Station" on their display boards. North Western Station really has much more of a history than Ogilvie Transportation Center. --Boreas231 16:06, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

The question was about having a separate article at North Western Station, which now redirects here. --SPUI (talk) 19:39, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

By the most common name rule, this should redirect there instead of as it is now. --Dhartung | Talk 16:06, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
