very seriously considering going to this event

@JimBoylan I know the tracks shift westward between the two stations, but it seems unclear. Almost every other junction on the BSS is a flying one. Plus between Snyder & Tasker it's hard to see any indication of a unbuilt flying junction or unfinished tunnel, as is common with the other junctio...

[quote="khecht"]Planned well, it's certainly possible,

yeah, and it's inepta doing the planning.

call me silly, but i think they should just leave well enough alone. all a change would do would be to confuse newcomers to the system, since all the local people will con tinue to call them by what they've been since forever. how many people do you know who still call the NHSL the 100? the only cha...

it's a safe bet that the trolleys will be on the diversion route every sunday night after ten pm until 6 am

the 123 will be the only service between the two points in my lifetime.

it's all about overcrowding. when it's brutally cold (like it is now) they dispense with it and all trains are all stops, so people don't have to wait out in the cold as long. i get on at berks, when i was with the 8th st welders gang, getting on at 730 am, i rarely got a seat on my usual A train. w...

I'd have to think that global warming provides a greater risk to native NJ wild trout than reconstruction of an existing rail right of way. The railroad could help to slow global warming by removing some daily super commuters and Pocono weekend traffic from Rt. 80. every time the wetlands there are...

Lansdale Borough now has three separate SEPTA RRD stations within its boundaries including Pennbrook. That said, overall RRD station spacings are some of the closest of any comparable system in the country. That's a major factor in SEPTA's relatively low average speed figures. The problem is that n...

great pics! the b&s is one of my favorite roads. my family has a cabin on rt. 6 just across the street from the row for the NYC interchange.

huh, since them we've regained (partially) girard ave and lost all hope for erie and germantown ave. net gain or loss?

I wonder if they would consider getting monitors like the SLV 5 's on these babies. i sincerely hope not. i find the looped commercials that play on them between announcements to be extremely distracting. the only thin more annoying than the "we buy any car" ad is the "we buy any car...

holy crap that's a lot to digest! i've been at it an hour and i'm not even done section 2, and just skimming at that!

"....I also noticed some blue markings from the water company in the area, and was wondering if the track removal work was related to water pipework in the area..." I work for NJ American water in Hillsborough, and as far as I know we have nothing going on over there, although I`ll dig in...

Quite an exciting night. you can say that again. i just came our of the booth at 40th st. three times it was flip-flopped whether the trolleys were running on diversion, as is usually on sunday nights, and never once did i hear about it from dispatch. once from septa police and twice from angry pas...
