YO WTF😂😂

[@kaiizol]

Lmao

[@kevinhoward9593]

19th street is the last untouched original station in the tunnel. Although I have seen pictures of there being a more elaborate staircase that came down from the south instead of the east and west sides. The railings and columns are still the original ones from the 1907 construction.

[@blue9multimediagroup]

Nope. Stairways always came from East and West of 19th on both sides. They just used to have cashier's booths midway up the stairways.

[@malachimuhammad-dy2ow]

Why are the eastbound trains going slowly?

[@tramainestafford31]

thats my favorite trolley

[@manyrural319]

How are the trolleys local and the Market Frankfort express?

[@italobambino43]

DJ Thomas The Trolleys operate on the outer tracks, between 30th and 15th and Market, their are no stops for the El. Both the El and Trolleys stop at: 30th Street( a free interchange between both), 23rd and 19th and Market (Trolley stops only) 15th and Market is a free interchange station like 30th Street, there you have access to the El, the Trolleys and the Broad Street Subway( free interchange between all of them), you can also access the Subway Concourse to Suburban Station, and the Regional Rail lines. 13th Street is where the Trolleys loop around and head back to West Philly, there are no free interchanges there.

[@manyrural319]

Mark Conti ok

[@kevinhoward9593]

I read somewhere that when they were planning the EL line they purposely made the gap between 15-24th street portal (original portal) because there were no businesses or office buildings west of city hall. so they bypassed it and went directly to 32nd street Station (original alignment.) The original portal came up where the PECO building now sits.

@@italobambino43 There is free interchange between the El and the trolleys at 13th Street

[@Spaceprorealyt]

I love the trolley but most of the trolley are busses now

[@yvonneplant9434]

Not these!

[@SparkyTv_203]

@@yvonneplant9434 yeah the subway surface cars were pretty gross

[@malachimuhammad-dy2ow]

I think the Kawasaki LRVs were pretty nice.

[@Jeff-uj8xi]

None of the subway-surface trolleys nor the stations are accessible to the handicapped or elderly as of 2022. I don't know how SEPTA gets away with it. They flash their middle finger to the ADA and nothing is said or done about it. Now that I'm old and disabled, it affects me personally. No longer can I ride on those 42 year old high-floor cars with their narrow blinker doors and steep steps, nor can I climb up stairs in the stations. At the rate SEPTA is going about it, I predict it will be ten or twelve years before they put new accessible, low-floor trolleys in service and install elevators in the stations. They've been talking about it for decades. Talk is cheap. I won't be around to see it. I'm almost 80 years old and ill. But as dangerous a place as Philadelphia has become, I really don't miss going there anymore.

[@yvonneplant9434]

Been talked about for years. Who knows how long that will be.
