I've got a possibly stupid question about how trains on the R5 go through Bryn Mawr. Trains that express inside Bryn Mawr switch to the express track at that interlocking, I assume, but the portion of the interlocking to go from the WB express to the WB local track is West of Bryn Mawr. Do those trains stop on the inner track, and passengers cross the local track? Is that what those wooden mini-platforms are for? Or am I missing something?
Similarly, where do Bryn Mawr locals that terminate there go, exactly? Searching around I see they sometimes deadhead to Frazer, sometimes back to 30th St. For those that return to 30th St, the connection from WB to EB is East of the station, so how do they drop passengers off and then turn to head back East?
I'm curious about the reverse for EB expresses inside Bryn Mawr and where EB Bryn Mawr locals originate from.
