That engine stalks me.... it and 557. Every time I'm up there for a visit, somehow, both of those engines cross my line of sight in some way, shape, or form, at least once.

SEPTA is horrible…

@wirelessone32704 The conductor was at that door off the platform to open everything up from what would be the last open car of the train; nobody would have been permitted to exit through that door.... had there even been anybody aboard. The train was empty, as it had just deadheaded from the yard to begin service at Temple U. So no injury situation to worry about in this case.

@@trainman1971 thanks for the clarity. The optics really didn't look good...

@@wirelessone32704 You're welcome!!

😂😂

This has been an event for the past 15 years.

Yes 2

So yes and no. I'll tell you the story and you'll see why So the Thomas SLF was the Dennis Dart, imported to America. The Dart was later named Enviro under Alexander-Dennis. New Flyer acquired the rights to import the Enviro to the US in 2014, and then later bought out Alexander-Dennis in 2018(?) So yeah now they own the design.

These are actually an Alexander Dennis design that New Flyer built under partnership. That partnership has since ended, and Alexander Dennis is back to being sole builder of this model.

They're just express trips on the route as a whole. If it was a separate route number, that would be a different story, but this only covers the route numbers as an entity, and not service patterns.

Yeah, my fingers didn't forgive me for that evening for a week.

No, it was scheduled. At the time, one push-pull set was assigned to Warminster. It departed Market East sometime between 5:05 and 5:20pm, IIRC. Indeed, it was pitch black by 5pm back then. At that time, the time change from Daylight Savings to Standard Time was still the last Sunday of October, and the clocks had just fallen back an hour over the weekend.

When the 115 was Delmar Village to Ardmore? Yeah, I did do a ride video on the line not long before the reorganization (along with the original configuration of the 111), but I don't believe I've posted them here. As for the first BSL appearance on my channel, I don't recall offhand. I am certain it would not be the first BSL video I ever shot, but it is likely a part of a broader miscellaneous video.

@@trainman1971 can you do so, when you get a chance?

@@Septa-f4d Might not have time for a while. Plus, most of my older vids from when I was still on VHS were uploaded at random times in the last 5 years. As for my firs BSL appearance, I definitely won't be able to check on that; I've got nearly 28 years of video to go through to see. But I do have a lot of my older footage on various other flashback videos. It's even probable the first time I ever did SEPTA: Route By Route in 2009 that I shot the BSL for the first time.

@@trainman1971 understandable

@@trainman1971 actually, i think Downtown 1999 was the first appearance of the train.

Yes, it is prohibited, and people ignore it too many times daily to count.

There isn't a Part 4. There are video posts from my subsequent (and to date, last) trip out there in 2015.

@@trainman1971 Oh really you have More SkyTrain videos in 2015

@@razamirani5648 Somewhere, but I think I did more bus and trolleybus that time. I wasn't out there as long on that trip.

I can't do a ride on the BSL, since the full cabs prevent that. No real flashback videos of the line either, since I didn't really do a full in-depth video of it; just various stations over the years.

@@trainman1971 So, btw, heads up, Septa Bus revolution happens next summer, ya better get a route by route before it happens.

​@@trainman1971Express trains are the fastest on the Broad Street Line.

@@Septa-f4d I have to wait until after Bus Revolution and the Metro rebranding is completed before I do another route by route, since these changes will be so drastic compared to 2017.

@@trainman1971 well, SEPTA Metro already is rebranding.

Just showing their locations, basically.

@@trainman1971 also, did some routes discontinue here?

@@Septa-f4d Since that time, yes... the 305 is gone now.

@@trainman1971 nice! Also, i have a idea for a video, Broad Street Line action along the line at stations
