What's the history of the Locust Street Subway? The two pages at http://www.trainweb.org/phillynrhs/patco.html and http://world.nycsubway.org/us/phila/broadstreet.html seem to disagree.
http://railroad.net/forums/viewtopic.ph ... eet+subway seems to agree more with the nycsubway.org story. Is the Philly NHRS correct about Bridge Line trains running north to Girard, or did they go all the way to Olney? Also, did Bridge Line trains run onto the Broad-Ridge spur on weekdays, or did they end at 8th-Market then?
A final question - where was the ramp shown in the photo on http://www.septa.org/inside/history/bsl.html?
