Some people thought nobody would ever call Ogilvie Transportation Center "Ogilvie" but lots of people do now, and lots of people don't know what you mean if you say "Northwestern Station".
I could be wrong, but I always thought the O & R were for Orchard and the D is from Field.Well the O and the R in ORD have nothing to do with O'Hare. ORD stands for Orchard, O'Hare's original name from the dawn of aviation.
That explains why I saw the team’s plane on the tarmac in PVD before boarding my flight:Logan is not considered a Providence Airport, although many residents do fly out of Logan - including me at times. Then I took Amtrak to/from KIN.
What upsets me is that the New England Patriots are considered a Boston team, and during games they show the Boston skyline. Actually, Foxboro is closer to Providence than to Boston. Also the officials and many of the teams fly into and stay in Providence!
Two AUers saw their plane at PHL earlier this year.

I ain't so...you can ride the Ocean View on the D&H this fall....Are you telling me that I can not ride the bubble top domes on the D&H or D&RGW?
Say it aint so!
This is a good point. I lived in the Chicago area for six years, and use Ogilvie many times, but never really knew it had been called anything else.Some people thought nobody would ever call Ogilvie Transportation Center "Ogilvie" but lots of people do now, and lots of people don't know what you mean if you say "Northwestern Station".
Interesting that it made you think of a farmer's market....I still think of the station as the 'Reading Terminal'....but just showing my age....fairviewroad,
I have to disagree with you on the SEPTA name change--I loved "Market East"--because it was so vague, it always made me think of a farmer's market or an exotic shopping area or travel to an exciting destination--whatever my mind saw at the moment.
But "Jefferson" just makes me think of getting sick and going to a hospital.
What about "Millennium Station"? It's still "Randolph Street Station" to me....Some people thought nobody would ever call Ogilvie Transportation Center "Ogilvie" but lots of people do now, and lots of people don't know what you mean if you say "Northwestern Station".
Nothing to do with age at all!Interesting that it made you think of a farmer's market....I still think of the station as the 'Reading Terminal'....but just showing my age....fairviewroad,

It's finally official.
30th Street Station is now the William H. Gray III 30th Street Station, Amtrak and the William H. Gray III Memorial Foundation announced in a press conference in Washington, D.C., on Thursday.
“We are proud to announce our agreement with the William H. Gray III Memorial Foundation to rename Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station and honor the legacy of the late Congressman Gray, who devoted his career to helping the great city of Philadelphia,” Amtrak spokesman Jason Abrams said. “Travelers and visitors will now be able to celebrate his life dedicated to public service every time they visit or travel to and from the station through the statue, commemorative plaque, signage that will adorn the station.”
