0:45 If you look to your left, you can see the remains of the NHSL's interchange with the PRR. 8:21 While the new El structure is nice, I kinda miss the old stub where the El used to go all the way to 24th St. The current tunnel was completed in 1955, and the El structure from 24th St. to 45th St. demolished. 9:45 Off to your right, tunnel stubs for a never-built Southwest Philly El. 13:55 This stretch of the tunnel runs under the Schuylkill River and must constantly be pumped dry. During WWII, the unfinished tunnel was allowed to flood, discouraging would-be saboteurs. 15:40 I've been told that this stretch of the MFSE was filmed as a stand-in for the NYC subway for the original "Taking of Pelham 123". I've never been able to prove it one way or the other... :) 21:15 This curve was reworked to accommodate I-95 construction in the 1990s. The original Fairmount station was replaced by the Spring Garden station at that time. They did stress testing on the 1918 vintage El structure, only to find it was nearly as strong than as-built. 21:54 The approximate location of the original El portal. In 1908, the track made a U-turn to the right and headed south along Delaware Avenue to serve the Pennsylvania Railroad and Reading Railroad ferries. The line continuing to Frankford was not completed until after WW1. Ferry service would continue until the Ben Franklin Bridge made the ferries obsolete. The El on Delaware Avenue was demolshed in the late 1930s. 24:25 Return to the original Frankford El alignment. 25:30 While the original 1907 Market Street Elevated from 24th to 63rd Sts. straddled Market Street, the 1919 Frankford El was constructed on cantilevered pillars in the middle of Front Street, turning onto Frankford Avenue.

During their first years here in Philly (1960’s) the 76ers played in Convention Hall but would get “bumped” by other occasions such as the Philly Flower Show. When that happened, the would go the the old “Arena” at 45th and Market. I remember being there in January of 1965 when Wilt Chamberlain made his 76er debut in that run-down place. I would take the El-Subway-El from Frankfort to 45 St. Thanks for posting this video!

Grew up in Frankford back in the 50’s and 60’s. Great neighborhood then, not so much now. Interesting trivia bit: all the double crossover you see periodically, we’re single crossovers before the line was rebuilt back in the 90’s. If they were working on one of the lines and the train had to use the other track, then the train had pull past the crossover, back up over to the other track, then proceed forward. This was a real time consuming move.

The Montreal subway can't reverse without going through a whole lot of red tape, several supervisors and another operator in the rear getting involved. If the train overruns the station by a door or two they can usually call for an authorization to open the doors partially in the tunnel, but it they overrun by more than that, it causes a delay on the entire line. It happens very rarely since most trains operate in automatic mode, and even in manual mode there is a safety switch that triggers the emergency brake if a train misses the platform, or comes in too hot into the station.

Back when I ran motor on the CTA "EL" backing up an in service train would get you fired. So, if you overshot, you let the conductor know and then you got out of the cab and protected the door(s) not in the station. That would you get you a meeting with the boss, but you still had a job.

I took the el a lot when I grew up in Upper Darby (just W of the city). It was fairly rare but there were occassional overshoots. In the old days the driver held down a buzzer so the conductor (door operator) knew not to open the doors, then they'd give 2 quick buzzes when the train was backed up enough. I occasionally would look out the front. Note the small yellow "O" and "B" signs shortly before many of the stations. I have speculated that this was "off" ie coast, and "brake" but I don't know that this really was so. If B is brake, you can see that they don't brake very far ahead of the station, so you could see how once in awhile they'd overshoot. I seem to remember that the rush hour rate was a train every 2.5 min. , so no time for lollygagging into the station :).

I seem to remember that the rush hour rate was a train every 2.5 min. , so no time for lollygagging into the station :). . I read that the NY subways run slower than necessary because they have so many "timer" signals that the operators may get in trouble if they trip. The Phila. EL had few of these (lights that would be red or yellow, only to go green as the train approached). Looked like approaching 46th St., because after that station is the swerve and entry into the tunnel. apporaching 2nd st., because that's a sharp turn and tunnel exit. Westbound (the other way from the video) there were one or more "timer signals" before the big downhill to go under the river, presumably so they didn't get carried away speed wise and blast through 30th St. I assume NY has more slow areas because it's a much more complicated system with trains merging/diverging on different routes.

yeah 52nd st in west philly used to be notorious, it's calmed down lately, (in Southwest Philly around 58th & Woodland, it is the opposite...SW is gripped by deep poverty and violence) plus areas just a few blocks east are now becoming very expensive...I wonder how long the working-class will be able to afford 52nd st area in the future...hopefully gentrification doesn't happen too much/too fast.

I've always wondered the meaning of the alarm tone heard at 7:40 (for example)...is this some sort of overspeed or overcurrent warning? Seems to happen quite frequently and the train operators seem to address it by reducing power momentarily and then returning the power back to where it was.

I think this is an attention aware notification for the operators, kind of like what they have installed on SEPTA Regional Rail. Instead of a deadman’s handle, they have this, and when the operator hears it, they have to press a button to let the system know they’re aware and awake.

I could never understand the logic of having A and B trains that would drive through some stations not stopping. Once you get in a train train that stops at your lettered station you can get to downtown faster but you have to wait longer for a train because the other lettered train will not stop to let you on. If it is a faster way to get where you’re going why do they only run the lettered trains at certain times?

@Lighthouse in the Storm the broad street line has trains that skip. stops without slowing down at all but they have their own set of tracks and can pass the trains that stop at every stop. Unless there are separate express tracks I don’t see how it makes any sense unless they want to designate certain stops as less important and make the people getting on at those. stops wait longer and get to their destination later so people at the more important stations can get where they are going quicker. That’s makes about as much sense as Septa charging people more to ride the regional rail lines during rush hour or as much sense as calling three of the lines “regional rails” even though they don’t leave the city. I guess it’s easier to charge people more for a subway line if they call it a regional rail and avoid a free interchange with the subway and elevated lines. But don’t get me started on Septa.
