They've renamed the airport outside Toronto a couple of times. I still call it Malton, but I think everyone else is split between Toronto International and Pearson.
What did this Franklin fellow have to do with railroads?
Not a lot that I remember learning about, but he was a forefather of our country, Washington, Hancock, Franklin etc......
He has tons of stuff nationwide named for him, someone got the idea that "30th Street Station" wasn't a good name all of a sudden & thought it best to re-mame it. Go figure....
Of course, this will cost thousands of tax dollars deciding on wether to re-mame it or not and then the signage will have to be paid for (As mentioned in the article) then The PRR (Conrail & Amtrak) will have to re-print schedules, timetables etc. to reflect the new name and then there will have to be a Media Event/dedication ceremony .......
oh well, we'll have to see.......
