Septa SL5 RFW PHL to West Trenton. Highly detailed graphics. 4/7/23 

They don’t. They do to Trenton

Csx

I "second" that!!!!

Glad you like them!

Also the route of the B&O Royal Blue from Jersey City.

That is my plan!!! I never realized how many Septa employees watch my videos. Glad to help.

@@3985uprr too bad Septa won't extend the Broad Street Line even further, considering RU-vid has a video (possibly more) on the abandoned stations and plans that originally made this subway route much bigger than it is

Yes I missed that signal. Thanks much. I plan on doing more detailed head end rides.

Yes

US 13 joins the NEC Corridor in Wilmington, DE, just before the Biden Transportation Center. However, US 13 changes sides of Interstate 95 between Wilmington DE and Chester, PA - it creates a quandary in that Chester, PA is not served by Amtrak, but is by SEPTA. (Marcus Hook, PA is a SEPTA-only station, at PA 452@US13 - which is 10th Street in Marcus Hook proper.). Were Marcus Hook, or Chester PA for that matter, served by Amtrak, I would change there - but because Amtrak services neither, I changed trains in Wilmington, or was simply picked up there when visiting - which I did twice. Because my trips were on weekends, I never used SEPTA on the weekends along the Newark, DE - Philadelphia line. I used SEPTA, but the then Paoli Local - now the Paoli- Thorndale Line I which then and now shares trackage with the Keystone line as far west at Harrisburg PA. West of Harrisburg, the Keystone line is not only not electrified, but is still primarily freight, even today.

I’m not sure

I’ll try at some point. I’ve actually done that whole line in two parts. I did one from Bryn Mawr to Thorndale and another one from Bryn Mawr to 30th St.

Not sure, but they were cheaper than the Pennsylvania Railroad between the New York area and Washington

The positioning does drive me crazy sometimes

Reading

@@3985uprr thanks

I’m hoping New Jersey transit starts running trains out of West Trenton towards Newark. They have contemplated it, but no action so far. Other than that you’d have to go to Trenton.

I think there is a single bus line nearby

@@3985uprr Yeah that would be great if they ran service to Newark or Hoboken. It gives Septa and NJ Transit another transfer point.

@@nickberry5520 Yes the 608 bus stops across the street from the station. It serves the nearby Trenton Mercer Airport and also goes to the Trenton station in Downtown Trenton.

wher do you get food for the mules that run septa trains SLOW SLOW SLOW

If I am able, but lighting is a major factor in doing these videos. If anything, I may do it in the opposite direction because the lighting would be better.

I would take up stamp collecting

All due respect, those SL-V cars are UGLY too and they don't seem to ride anywhere near as well as SL-II and III cars which rode the absolute best. I rode SEPTA's SL-4 GE cars in the 1970s when they were brand new and they rode great and had nice acceleration. I don't really understand the GE car hate. Some of those GE cars must have millions of miles on them. What's the problem? I appreciate that the V's have a rail fan seat, but the things ride like they have square wheels compared to an old Budd SL-II. There's more to a great passenger rail car than "the way the horn sounds" and if it has a rail fan seat.

@@scdevon It is what it is. I do miss the Budds though.

@@3985uprr - I know it, but it's going to be a loss when the GE cars are retired, IMO (probably soon, unfortunately). I don't think these Hyundai cars will be around even half of the 50 to 60 years of continuous service that the Budd, St. Louis and GE cars endured, but I've been wrong before. Great channel, by the way!!! A+++

@@scdevon I fully agree they won’t have the longevity of the GE’s but I will enjoy them while they are around. Thanks
