Septa SL5 RFW on train

Unlike the outbound ride, this will be much more detailed. The sun angle on this journey was much more favorable and this is my best effort on a Newark to Philadelphia RFW. All passing trains, signals and indications, stations, overhead bridges and some undergrade bridges, and interlockings will be identified. In addition, you will hear some Conductor Paul style poetry relating to the station names. I admit some of the poems flow well and others are a little awkward, but you get the idea. As you can tell, I never get tired of doing these SV5 rides. (Signal at 0:58 is pro cab. Flashing green) (At 57:30 the Septa tracks are 5/4 left to right, not 2/1) (I’m slipping. At 0:31 the train is #2522) it’s been along day

Part of the charm of Septa regional rail is the old style stations.

I really enjoy all your posts on RU-vid. Especially liked this video, as I recently went to visit the New Claymont station. I live between Claymont and Newark Delaware stations (closer to Newark). I am a former Pennsylvania Railroad passenger Conductor on the Harrisburg Division then later a B&O engineer running between Philadelphia and Richmond VA or Cumberland MD. I have been retired for several years now. I would enjoy meeting and talking with you sometime, if that were possible. Thank you for your videos.

I believe when you did your first video of this trip back in 2020, SEPTA was allowing riders free passage due to the pandemic. I can remember riding to Devon, PA for free from Philly back then.

Eddystone is the site of the former Baldwin Locomotive Works, hence the interlocking being called "Baldwin."

I just watched the news on a Philadelphia station and they said unless SEPTA gets the needed money , service on the Chestnut Hill East and Chestnut Hill West lines will be cut, and apparently both lines are among the lowest in the SEPTA system in terms of ridership numbers.
@3985uprr
@3985uprr 3 месяца назад
I heard that, but people in that area are influential so somehow I think at least one of those lines will survive.

​@@3985uprr in the past, there was always talk about eliminating one of the Chestnut Hill lines, usually the CHW line as CHE (former Reading line) is under complete SEPTA control and is not subject to Amtrak movements unlike CHW. Also, unlike CHE, which goes through Germantown (largely Black neighborhood), CHW goes through a mostly White (and upscale) area, thus eliminating CHE will draw a lot of ire from the Black community (whereas eliminating CHW would cause an uproar from those who use it as opposed to the slower - yet more frequent - Route 23 bus service, which intersects the SEPTA Main Line at Wayne Junction).

I’ll try to use them as much as I can on future Septa rides. Remember to dispose of your junk, to keep the streets clean in Manayunk.

Shows I’m human 🤣🤣. The gaffe was because the outbound was #3219 so I stuck with the 32xx on the way back but train goes to Doylestown. The outbound came from West Trenton. I’ve never seen a railroad with so many origin and destination combinations.
