I used to live in Lansdowne, and used the train to commute to work in Philly. It was always a pleasure to take the train.

Nice video and coverage of SEPTA commuter operations. Landesdowne is a beautiful suburban Philly community and that station is classic. And BUDD still makes those great passenger coaches…and a fan of the BUDD RDCs!

Thanks for visiting and showing the action from Lansdowne station. I live in Lansdowne and use this line. One time I even got to ride through the center tunnel from Doylestown to Lansdowne as a through train ride. It was nice when they added those small step ups from the concrete platform as it made it easier to get on the steps of the train. By the way you mentioned at the beginning how old the station was. We did have a fire at the station several years ago but the community got together to get the station rebuilt as it was first constructed. It defiantly one of our proud traditional buildings. One last comment about the lack of Phillies fans ridding to the game. We have several bus lines that feed to 69th Street Terminal where we can connect to the El and have easy connection to the Broad Street Subway to the stadium. So most fans tend to use those routes to get to the game.

I figured maybe the regional rail wouldn’t be convenient for baseball fans to citizens Bank Park

I love trains, so much. Good thing you're careful not to get hurt by these big locomotives, it might be police chase. Septa has been the best transportation services since time, so cool

Man, SEPTA has some beautiful stations, I just wish they’d build more door-level platforms! But the entire system is electrified, which is a rarity in the states, so I guess I can’t complain too much.
