Anyone know if it's 1515 or 1525 North Charles Street? Google gives results for both. -- SPUI ( talk) 15:05, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
The Maryland Transportation Authority planned to have six proposed mass transit lines. The Blue and Yellow lines are supposed to have Penn Station as one of its proposed stations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Youngsouljah25 ( talk • contribs) 05:30, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
The Penn station has a light rail station. In The Baltimore Region Rail System Plan the proposed blue line, which is one of the planned 6 lines.
Despite my tenure here, I'm not really sure how to get a formal proposal on this but I think the title would be better as Penn Station (Baltimore), at least in modern times, I have never once seen or heard it referred to as Pennsylvania Station and Penn Station seems to be WP:COMMONNAME.

I've noticed that of the three Pennsylvania Stations that still use the name, this is the only article to be titled with 'Penn Station' rather than 'Pennsylvania Station', as with New York and Newark's respective stations. Given moves for both of those articles to New York Penn Station and Newark Penn Station appear to have been rejected even as recently as this past June, I wanted to ask what the consensus is about this article specifically, especially as 'Pennsylvania Station' is etched into the facade of the station building in Baltimore.

Pennsylvania Station (Baltimore) → Baltimore Penn Station – This is the most commonly used name in multiple official sources, in most secondary sources, and is known as this by the general public. Pennsylvania Station may be a valid expanded form, but Penn Station is sanctioned as the name for this station to a degree where calling it anything else makes it less recognizable. To that end, I am emphasizing that this request only pertains to this station and does not ask for anything related to other stations with a similar name. Many of those have been evaluated independently already, but I do not think the same reasoning is applicable in every case, which is why I am requesting this for Baltimore Penn Station.
It may be worth noting that the name "Baltimore Penn Station" also is helpful in that it naturally disambiguates better from Penn-North station, a metro station in Baltimore named after Pennsylvania Avenue. The inclusion of the city name in the station name both matches how it is commonly referred to, and adds context that it is an inter-city passenger rail hub. When I think of things named "Pennsylvania" as it pertains to features with more local relevance, I tend to think of Pennsylvania Avenue first, which is in a different part of the city than Penn Station.
