Express service was revised on the Broad Street Subway in 1983, with express trains being extended to Olney, and skipping North Philadelphia in both directions.
In this video, they were used as a turnback loop. But what they were actually planned to be used for was the Roosevelt Blvd subway that they are still thinking of building today
A bunch of the old cars were saved when the new cars arrived for rush hour and tripper sèrrvice. Unfortunately when the ADA was passed they had to be retired because of the posts in the doors

JG Brills For Broad Street Subway. Art Deco Cars manufactured from 1928-1936 for this line. Miss riding on these Classic Rapid Transit coaches. 🚃🚃🚋❤
