- Here, we explore the Broad Street Line of the Septa Subway in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Broad Street line operates both local and express service between Fern Rock Transportation Center in northern Philadelphia and NRG Sports Entertainment Complex in southern Philadelphia. The line is also comprised of express service between 8th Street Market Street and Olney Transportation Center via Broad Street Spur line. The Broad Street line utilizes B-IV railcar fleets manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries. We capture assortments of local and express service along the line! Enjoy! =)

Magnificent machines.
That’s my favorite subway
Amazing!
If it hadn't been for Poli'tricks', Nimbyism (especially when it was increasingly nationwide), and finances (cheating and dishonesty/diverse weights-also nationwide), I'll guarantee everyone that The Broad Street Subway would have greatly been expanded-Jesus Christ would own/operate/expand and all of the Nimbyists will turn into Zacchaeuses because they do not want to burn in hell for being discriminate/prejudiced/racist. . .original plans included railroad branch routes because of similar track guages, the long ghostly awaiting (???) Roosevelt Boulevard Route, Passyunk Avenue Route-note odd jogs in the tunnel along South Broad Street after Snyder Avenue- which would have replaced or supplemented the planned Woodland Avenue Route that would have funneled into the Market Street Subway Elevated Line, Northwest Route coming up for air along the Henry Avenue Bridge for a trip to Roxborough, Willow Grove Branch way north of the city along Old York Road, and the Arch Street Downtown Distribution Loop- a [not too recent] study focused on the Navy Yard area also; fortunately the infrastructure between the current PATCO trains and Broad Ridge Spur are still connected-despite fencing over former track crossovers- due to former rapid transit history where trains changed ends to operate through service via [Benjamin Franklin] Bridge into Camden NJ, and then crosstown service opened along Locust Street until DRPA created PATCO to allow for expansion towards Lindenwold NJ (recent talks again about expanding to Maple Shade first, and Glassborough second as these are whetting up every transit fan's appetite. . .NJTRANSIT's River Line has absorbed the former); when the Center City Commuter Connection Tunnel was built, there was mention about 'High Speed' service extending a branch route to the airport: I thought it was the Broad Street Subway that was being referred to because technically it is a high speed line, AND fortunately I did see the commuter rail route at the airport-PATCO could have extended to the airport via University City, but that's another poli'trick'al agenda; Broad Street Subway is truely a subway unto itself with its classification lights (⚪ Local,🟢 Express,🟡 Local: Broad Ridge Spur, and 🔵 : Sports Express) on the trains, horns blowing at select stations (Fern Rock, North Philadelphia, and my favorite [@] City Hall where another branch line was intended), and speed; I was fortunate to have visited between 1/89-3/05 riding the subway altogether (BSS: 🟧, MFSE: 🟦, SS: 🟩, and PATCO: 🟥): I still remember seeing empty trackspace between Erie and Olney Stations a couple of years before the void was filled in for expansion.
The express is scary freak your mind out fast
That painting on the ground at Spring Garden station must've been added pretty recently. They weren't there before. Glad it's there because it makes Spring Garden station look original as opposed to looking like Girard
That's true. The new painting makes Spring Garden feel like a garden
8:19 That station and express track looks like the NYC Subway.
This part of the Broad Street line definitely feels like NYC subway
Good video bro but broad street line need 10 cars express trains but lack of ridership cause of 2 subway cars of 8 subway cars if local train it kind suck low ridership on express service.
I know nyc subway are very high ridership because mostly express service in is 10 cars . Better than nyc Philly isn't good enough ridership.
i went to Philly in 2009 visiting.
That’s 15 years ago. Maybe ridership numbers have changed?
