  • Shot on 7/14/16, during the start of the evening rush hour (3:50 pm to 4:10 pm). Even though North Philadelphia is built as an express stop, only 8th Street spur express trains stop there. Main line express trains bypass the station, making it a perfect location to record good horn action and express trains passing by with decent lighting. Enjoy =)

    The ends of these cars look a bit dated compared to the sides.

    So how gay would an extension to the present Cheltenham Mall be?
    This would bulldoze the mall and replace it with a massive Park & Ride + Terminus station.
    The goal being to divert vehicle traffic off PA 309 onto Public Transit. Route:
    from Olney TC, NW on Old York Rd., W on Stenton Av., NW on Ogontz to the mall site.

      That would be ridiculous. We already have route 16 that takes you to the Cheltenham mall. And the train already ends at Fern Rock, which is on the east side. Fern Rock transportation center would have to no longer be a stop

    Fan Railer I got a question about septa why are the trains like four cars?

    • @TheMetroologist
      @TheMetroologist 8 лет назад +3

      Train length depends on time of day. Longer trains (say about 8 cars) would be run earlier in the morning for the rush hour periods, as well as in the afternoon for the end-of-day commute.

    • @FanRailer
      @FanRailer  8 лет назад +2

      Train length varies based on the branch and time of day on this line.

      It's five cars for both local and express trains (usually two married pairs with a double-ended car between them) and two cars on the Spur (usually a married pair). In all cases, this is down from eight cars when the old cars ran the line.

    Time now to start painting these railcars Redbird Red.
    Factoid: Redbird Red originated here.

    • @libertubey2199
      @libertubey2199 4 года назад +2

      You are correct. On the old Broad Street Subway cars. Redbird Red is also called Gunn Red, named after David Gunn, who was General Manager for SEPTA first, then New York City Transit Authority. He also implemented Quality Control in both transit agencies to keep all transit vehicles in tip-top shape, regardless of age of the vehicle.

    4 times in my Philly trips and I've railfanned on the Broad Street Line and this Broad Ridge Spur... And I gotta tell ya.. These express trains to Walnut-Locust... If these Broad Ridge spurs stop here, why don't these Walnut Locust Express trains follow suit?

    • @malachimuhammad-dy2ow
      @malachimuhammad-dy2ow Год назад

      Because, Walnut-Locust Express trains do not stop here.

    • @MJBYouTubeNetwork
      @MJBYouTubeNetwork 11 месяцев назад

      ​@@malachimuhammad-dy2owThey should. This is an express station after all.

    • @MJBYouTubeNetwork
      @MJBYouTubeNetwork Год назад +1

      I don't see why they don't when they should.. This is an express station.

    • @malachimuhammad-dy2ow
      @malachimuhammad-dy2ow Год назад

      He means express trains with green lights.

    • @malachimuhammad-dy2ow
      @malachimuhammad-dy2ow Год назад

      They only stop at Olney, Erie, Girard, Spring Garden, Race-Vine, City Hall, and Walnut-Locust.

    • @libertubey2199
      @libertubey2199 4 года назад +5

      We'll give you the bigger part. The SEPTA Board has no interest in either expanding train service or making it better, and does not care what the public, Philly government, Harrisburg or anyone else wants. Even if they are given unlimited amounts of money, the vast majority will go towards buses. It's not that SEPTA can't think outside the box like Los Angeles or Portland does. They choose not to.
