[@dr.johnwhalen9348]

When I lived in Newtown, I used to pass this station while riding the R3 West Trenton line.

[@evangouldtransit]

i think Paul would like this: don't you frown, you're headed down to Jenkintown.!!!!

[@3985uprr]

With the SL5 horns there, I was happy 😀😀. Those SL4 horns make me frown.

[@evangouldtransit]

@@3985uprr i am not a fan of the Silverliner IV horns, they remind me of the C3s...

[@evangouldtransit]

@@3985uprr but the SL5 K3LAs are some of the most beautiful sounding horns to ever be put on MUs besides the Wabco AA2s

[@3985uprr]

@@evangouldtransit AA2’s are beautiful in that they sound like old interurbans but the SL5’s are just sweet sounding. Mellow and relaxing.

@@evangouldtransit Look like junk. Sound like junk.

I had a friend who lived in Jenkintown with in walking distance of the station. Rode the train a few times to visit. The last time i rode the rail lines still were called the the R? Forgot what number it was .

[@OldsVistaCruiser]

SEPTA abandoned the R numbers in 2010. Jenkintown-Wyncote was served by the R2 Warminster, the R3 West Trenton and the R5 Lansdale-Doylestown.

i think they made 306 exp to jenkintown local to WT specifically a 6 car SL5 consist

[@johnjones928]

The new Media-Wawa line has the neighbors up in arms over their horns waking people up an night. They've been asked to stop testing at the Lenni yard after hours and there's a petition for a silent crossing at Lenni Rd.

[@evangouldtransit]

testing trains at the yard.?

[@johnjones928]

@@evangouldtransit Federal law say there the brakes have to be bled of water, HVAC checked and horn sounded before a train can start it's day. There are five trains stored a the Lenni yard, the 1st goes out at 5 AM and the last comes back at 1AM.

[@evangouldtransit]

@@johnjones928 ahh that makes sense.

[@OldsVistaCruiser]

Tim, did you notice the "WAWA TOWER" painted on the door of JENKIN tower? Apparently, it was done by a SEPTA employee who is a fan of "The Goldbergs," set right there in Jenkintown!

[@3985uprr]

Didn’t notice it

[@kevinhoward9593]

sucks they removed the double slip switch. is the budd plant the reason there is a turn back right there that's abandoned?

[@3985uprr]
