What law says SEPTA cant sell a line? East Penn owns the line but SEPTA still holds passenger rights to it. I think that's what the agreement was when East Penn bought the line. As for the line being abandon anytime soon, NO. Not a chance at all. There has been a lot of money spent on this line to get it to where it is now. Back when they first got the line, the trains spent more time one the ground then the rail. So many other railroads in the past did nothing to line to keep it up. There may be few customers on the line, but there is also so much potential to this line and the area. Could we see passenger service on this line again? I think there may be a chance someday. If you really want to know more, just send me a PM and I will try to help out. Just don't start bashing a railroad if things don't go the way YOU think they should go.
