Re: Market-Frankford Line Signalling System

I don't know what type of cab signals they use, but they do have wayside signals for the interlockings. BTW, will this game of yours just feature the M-4s, or will it also feature the Almond Joys as well?

Though said convenience store got scammed by SEPTA because the station that's named for said convenience store had that name before the station closed down in the 1980s.

Are the LRVs still equipped with Vetags, or did they get an upgraded auto switching system?

I guess those SEPTA tariff meetings are no longer open to the public because I would want to attend one.

The problem with using the median on Roosevelt Boulevard would be that there would be multiple grade crossings (and grade crossings and 3rd rails don't mix). So unless the Boulevard is rebuilt into something similar to the Vine Street expressway and use the median for the line, cut-and-cover would h...

While the excitement of the new Wawa Station, the construction of the new Claymont Station is under the radar. So far no information for its opening. Neither SEPTA nor DART has anything on their websites. The platforms are almost completed, the pedestrian overpass has been installed, elevator shafts...

a) reinstate hourly weekend service and

b) Move Train #9757's departure from Market East back to 4:14pm or 4:16pm.

Well I'm going to the town hall. My question would be that the original plans for the Boulevard Branch called for terminating at Rhawn Street, and if that's still the plan, because I feel it should go at least to Byberry Road with stops at Welsh Road and Grant Avenue. Don't worry, I'll drown out the...

Everyone - Wynnewood (westbound), Rosemont and Claymont are all stations that would require platforms to be shifted to as straight an area as possible - is six cars going to be the maximum for new high-level platform construction?

Well construction has started for the eventual reopening of the Franklin Square station. Plans call for a canopy kiosk, an elevator shaft for A.D.A. compliance, and installation for an escalator. The estimated completion date is the Spring of 2024 (though it may be sooner).
