On "septa.org/key/" there is a youtube video, (a good hour long) "septa debacle 3" which starts off with a dead mu being pulled into the upper level of 30th St. station by a switcher and the wire train. The pantograph on the last car is ripped off.
Then you go for an extremely slow ride on the Thorndale branch, including Amtrak train 43 making a station stop at Paoli, on track 3 (I guess,) with passengers crossing in front of our MU on track 4. It's a video that only a rail fan could go for, but an extremely pleasant surprise to find on Septa's website.

Ii think their site was hacked, since the whole 'key' section is down.

The septa.org/key/ was working at 3:30pm today; however, with different videos: buses in Philly and church services. You can find "septa debacle 3" on youtube, (my link above for instance.)
