[@Papascoffs]

This was great!! That’s the EL I remember!!

[@flatlineracer3207]

The GOAT video on the EL. WOW Thank you. I took the EL going to Northeast Catholic High School back in 1973 to 1976. What memories.

[@libertubey2199]

When subway trains looked like subway trains. I truly miss riding these "Almond Joys."

[@marreese8405]

What do they look like now

[@libertubey2199]

@@marreese8405 Garbage, at least the current MFL cars do.

Two things: 1. This is the most comprehensive video I have seen on this El section. 2. My great grandmother lived by the 69th Street terminal on Ashby Road. Hearing that El “squeal” sure does bring back memories.

[@juliusmoore4407]

Great video. Brought back many memories when I rode the EL. Thats how I learned my way around the sections of Philly. One of the great elevated-subway systems in the US,from my point of view. Thank you..

14:05 - The TV studios where "American Bandstand" originated. Before it was Channel 12, it was channel 6, WFIL-TV.

[@MarkBeecherDrums]

This is INCREDIBLE and your video digitization of the film is Spectacular - THANK YOU!! Brings back very fond memories of when I was a kid, was fascinated by the PTC/SEPTA Budd Subway Trains, and would ride the M-F El into Philly with my father, and we would stand in the Front Car and look out the Front Door Window and witness exactly the same moving images, that are on this great video. MANY THANKS AGAIN!

22:04 The Market-Frankford Line runs express, faster than underground trolleys on the streetcar subway.

[@bigdaddyl-rob7445]

GREAT video! Brings back fantastic memories! Thx for this!

[@GeneralHawk505]

Miss all of these old Train and Aviation home videos on VHS they had style and the best information about these things growing up😊

[@thor-elfalcon3057]

Wish I could go back in time and tell them to keep 100 of them around cause they definitely need them 😂😂

[@jerrodsix545]

Thanks for sharing this video. I especially like the outside views of each station and the commentary describing the area.

[@yaroslavyatsyk6475]

Why do trains horn when they are entering the tunnel?

[@joanborger702]

Excellent! Many memories!

[@TajmirTheRandomFan]

I remember watching this on Temple TV

[@stephendieter7116]

Does anyone know near what station the Harbison Milk water tower or Vick’s Vapor Rub water towers were located? As a kid from Olney in the late 60s and early 70s, I always kept an eye out for them when I was on the el.

[@libertubey2199]

You can see it as the train pulls closer to York-Dauphin Station.

[@billtube8768]

Across from North catholic high school. There's a closed 711 there now. That's where the milk jug was.

[@feb196940]

The one thing that was missing was I95 construction & fairmount station demolition

[@kylesheaff7779]

Have this on dvd

[@lamontjohnson1101]

They was the most dangerous El in philly when I was a kid , that’s the Patt Abbot EL would shake you scared from 30th Street to 15 th Street scarier than a roller coaster, it shook so bad people would scream stop train or slow the train down 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂, I was scared laughing

[@fr3dr02]

I miss the old Budd cars they were way more reliable than the dhailmer benz cars they're using 😮 I'm getting goosebumps because this footage and place in time is a ghost 😢Berks Huntington Allegheny church and bridge and pratt were original.. Church eastbound was exit only 😊 And all the neighborhoods along the line from Girard to fkd terminal were nice areas 😢

[@Thatgamingdiary]

54:34 How did you get those shots of the EL crossing the NE Corridor?

[@dominicpassantecontaldi8978]

When this was posted by placepearl in 2009 after carson home video it went right to the ride.

[@jamallhayden2512]

Thank You!

[@Thatgamingdiary]

Do you have any footage from inside the main building of Frankford Terminal?

[@nealyrawlingsjr]

Wow!

[@daaimlewis7124]

Do You Have Broad-Ridge Spur To 8th-Market?

[@OK-ph9ry]

Hey, do you have Septa Trolley DVD

[@andrewtesta5944]

How things have changed in 25 years

[@sollyparker3947]

Yup no homeless on the EL

[@CityConnectionsMedia]

Hey, do you know what the copyright on this video would be, and would I be able to use it in my own project? I'm working on a video about the M4 cars, and having this as b-roll to show off the earlier M3s would be a big help.

[@Kate-j8n4o]

Hi Henry. I'm an Archive Producer currently working on a documentary set in Philadelphia in the 1990s and I am looking for footage of the El train in this era. Do you own this video, and if so, would you be open to licensing your footage to us?

[@henryjpridejr]

no i don't own it but you can buy the video from ancoh videos train-video.com

[@RedArrow73]

And David Gunn's color coding never caught on. It's known to this day as "The El".

[@henryjpridejr]

No sorry about that

[@malachimuhammad-dy2ow]

When is the Broad Street Subway express ride coming out.

[@rraddena]

Those were the ugliest subway cars ever.

[@sollyparker3947]

but there were no homeless people on them

[@zazaranger5]
