Recording on the SEPTA Broad Street Line

In September of 2019, TCS visited SEPTA's Fern Rock Maintenence Facility to record the Broad Street Line B-IV subway cars.
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) is Philadelphia's regional public transportation network that operates bus, rapid transit, commuter rail, light rail, and electric trolleybus services for nearly 4 million people in five counties in and around Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
You can find out more about SEPTA at www.septa.org.

It is hard to believe those cars were New and the eighties And they still look modern and still run good. Kawasaki did a excellent job on those cars and the trolley cars That septa Purchased.

At 1:24 ,I remember when I was a kid before kindergarten,riding the subway with my mom ,I thought that throttle was a sink faucet because it looked like one 😂 😂😂😂

I wish TCS was around when the old Reading Blueliners in Philly were operational. Btw...is there a possibility that TCS might record the sounds of Septas Silverliner IV's and V's ??.

[@Josh-xn2uv]

Love the sounds. Any chance you guys going to do rail car sound decoders in the future?

[@TCSDCC]

Wouldn't count anything out - lots of neat stuff coming down the line in the next few years. We're always open to suggestions from folks too!

[@Josh-xn2uv]

TCSDCC glad to here I hope you guys get a real recording of 4014 at some point

[@kevinhoward9593]

for being almost 40 the cars still run amazing, unlike the M4 cars on the EL that ride like crap because they are so overpowered.

[@antfrm215]

I love the M4s and fr they heavy and strong ashit

[@Mnxxurne]

That's so cool

[@RailKingMell]

What model is this gonna be for?

[@TCSDCC]

We're always looking for opportunities to record sounds and expand our library - even if there isn't a model yet!

[@nemesisx1]
