This was not one of my better trips to Philadelphia as there were missed Silverliner 5 ride opportunities due equipment swaps and just plain bad luck. Trying to capture something special prevented these opportunities also. Better luck next time. It’s a good bet that wasn’t my last trip to Philadelphia.
We observe Septa MU action at 30th Street with. my usual candor and humor. I did catch the Reading Heritage SV4 twice which looks gorgeous. Yes, I actually said an SV4 looks gorgeous. I’m not on weed 🤣🤣😀. We also caught Engineer Trainee Bill taking out a train for Wawa. Overall an interesting yet frustrating day

Love seeing the Reading Lines Logo.

Good old 30th Street. Nice vid. I spent a lot of time in the past hanging around Track 4 to catch a train to Devon. A great future trip could be getting the Norristown line up to the end of the line and from there transferring to the old P&W high speed line down to 69th Street. From there you can get the Market-Frankfort line back to center city.

They are doing a major rail replacement project between Lancaster and Harrisburg. Nobody has documented it yet.

17:31 sounds almost exactly like the MBTA's CTC-5 K3Hs from afar! Also yeah, that reading SL4 looks great, and I agree that they look like NJT Arrows. Only difference I see is the lack of center doors!

@littlestevey4172 15 дней назад

NJT needs to put the NJDOT logos back on an 8 car set without disco stripes before they are retired in 2026.

8:25 this should be familiar to anyone in the 1970s Philadelphia railroading since Silverliner IVs when first delivered had the 1970s SEPTA logo leftside on the right side either reading or Penn Central Railroads.

I’ve Always wanted to Railfan around the Philly area with septas, avelias, and other cool trains!

@wdd6864 21 день назад

I saw the Silverliner IV heritage unit on the Warminster line from a distance. Looks great. We need some PRR and Conrail. Maybe the Penn Central as well. Please keep the great videos going

@AmtrakGuy42 21 день назад

The Vs are rarely run on weekends, it's more common to see IVs on most train. Which is why I find it surprising there were little to no Vs out that day.

Come on Tim those SL4's are not that bad. 😉

@3985uprr 21 день назад

It’s all in fun. They just never turned me on like other Septa MU equipment over the years. You’ll notice I was appreciative of the 280. In the future I will try to control myself. Intel advised that there would be an SV5 on a Thorndale run I wanted to film. It wound up being a SV4. It sort of messed up my day and I had to take it out on something 🤣🤣

I’d like to, but I wasn’t able to do it this day. I had to get back to the city earlier.

@AlanRoeckel 21 день назад

Spend more than a little time at 30th Street years ago. There used to be a restaurant there that a lot of the crews would go to and they had an amazing meat loaf! We're going back over 50 years. Wonder if it's still there.

The Silverliner IV's look much better without the window band and front stripping. Did you have the distain for them in the 70's as you do today?

Whats going on with the upcoming schedule change? Do you know if they are gonna put the express trains back?

I am hoping. I had nothing concrete yet, but I would love to see it.

Now that SEPTA has dumped the CRCC bi-levels, do you think they will go for unpowered Alstom bi-levels and powered Alstom bi-levels for the Silverliner 6s?

@jbreezy101 18 дней назад

I heard they’re gonna actually go to Coatesville, Lancaster, and Parkersburg. They were going to build some platforms as well as one at Paradise to connect with the Strasburg railroad. It’ll be great if they do this separate and that way Amtrak could focus on maybe getting a high-speed corridor to Lancaster, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh and Chicago.
