From its beginning in 1983, Philadelphia's regional rail network has grown to 162 stations, spanning 340 miles (547 kilometers). This animated video takes you through the timeline of when new stations were opened, forming the SEPTA and New Jersey Transit network that we know today.

As mentioned in the DC commuter rail video, MARC plans to extend to Newark station after it is reconstructed with an intermediate station at the long-closed Elkton Amtrak station for cheaper train travel to Philly and even NYC (not recommended for day trips). Also New Jersey Transit is looking into adding a West Trenton line to connect the station of its namesake for SEPTA RR service but currently lacks the funds.
@CreightonRabs
@CreightonRabs 2 года назад
NJT has long explored the possibility of restoring the West Trenton branch to connect with SEPTA (this would be the former Reading Railroad's New York (Bound Brook branch) which was the routing of the Crusader line between Philadelphia and New York). It's been a similarly long rumor for a MARC/SEPTA connection in either Newark or Elkton, but that seems to be dragging forever.

I grew up in Philly in the 60s & 70s so remember well the large cutbacks in longer distance diesel hauled services when Reading Terminal closed, such as to Reading, Bethlehem/Quakertown, & beyond West Trenton to (I think) Hoboken. "They" really need to get back onto planning to restore the Reading & Bethlehem services somehow, either using diesel shuttles or ~gasp~ electrifying the lines (yes wicked costly). Bethlehem service could hook up w/NJ Transit extension into PA via Phillipsburg to Easton to Bethlehem & Allentown. I think Amtrak included service to Reading in their strategic plans, but that should really be a "regional rail" endeavor. There are unserved major low income & dense population centers along the line (Phoenixville, Pottstown). I worked on the commuter rail system around NYC & am familiar with the systems in the northeast. SEPTA is way behind MBTA (Boston), LIRR, Metro-North, NJ Transit in many aspects of management, operations, planning, maintenance, amenities, rolling stock acquisition, etc. But they have a good system to start with. Certainly in terms of electrification. Not so much for hi level platforms. Let's hope they improve.

From 1992 to 1993 was when the rail works project took place. It was to rebuild the viaduct and trackage past Fern Rock to Jefferson. Temple and North Broad Stations were rebuilt to what they were today. Fern Rock is what it is now, because in 1992 people riding the Lansdale/Doylestown, Warminster, and West Trenton Lines had to transfer onto the Broad Street Line to get to Center City. The fact of the diesel express service along non-electrified Conrail tracks to 30th Street Station I remember reading about. Also during Rail Works, the Chestnut Hill East, Fox Chase, and Manayunk/Norristown Lines were suspended. Once those lines reopened, Fishers station on the Chestnut Hill East Line closed. The platform and shelters still stand today but are blocked off. Norristown Transportation Center was configured and built in 1989 to incorporate the terminus of the Norristown High Speed Line with the regional rail station (formerly DeKalb Street), along with the bus loop for routes 90, 91, 93, 96, 97, 98, 99, and 131. The terminus of the NHSL was located a little further up from its current terminus.

As a Newtown resident it would be absolutely awesome if the Newtown line was restored; there would be plenty of riders as the region's population has exploded since 1983, and it would be a big boon for Newtown borough. Sadly, I don't think it's ever going to happen because of opposition elsewhere on the line's path. It's also fun to imagine the Norristown line going all the way to Reading as it once did, the Warminster line going all the way to New Hope once again, as well as a branch from Landsdale going up to Souderton and Perkasie, and maybe even all the way up to the Lehigh Valley where it would meet up with trains coming west from NJ Transit. Maybe some day.

@@jm-bv1wh a less costly option would be to provide state funding to restore the track condition to an acceptable level for passenger service between Lahaska and Ivyland and have the NHRR run a couple of connecting shuttles with the Warminster line on seasonal weekends. Extending SEPTA to New Hope (while it would be great to see) would, unfortunately, mean that New Hope would lose one of its biggest tourism draws with the excursion train having to give up its route.

Going further back, be aware that these had been the privately-operated commuter rail services of Pennsylvania RR (out of Suburban Station) & Reading RR (out of Reading Terminal) until the SEPTA takeover. At one point, the Ivy Ridge line was PRR's line all the way to Norristown, directly competing with the Reading RR Norristown line.
