A Ride On The El: 2019 Edition

September 3rd, 2019
This video features a head-end ride aboard a set of M4's on the SEPTA Market-Frankford Line. This is an eastbound trip from 69th Street Transportation Center to Frankford Transportation Center.
Don't blink an eye or skip anything... there is that West Philly scenery... the newer Failed Tetris Architecture in Fishtown, and one never knows on this line when things might deviate from the routine... wink wink

the chatter on these trains are so pleasant... they do not even know they are immortalized and yet they still sound modern

Dam that guy at the beginning is like " IT's my god dam given right to smoke " XD GBA

Sorry, but it isn't.

[@lisaheisey6168]

I've taken that ride so many times, since I've lived in both Philadelphia and Upper Darby.

Love drivers eye views. Never saw a line ‘single track’ before.

[@trainman1971]

Yeah, only in limited emergency situations, or in some scheduled construction periods.

[@OldMovieRob]

The enclosed parts of the ride are both fascinating and creepy.
