SEPTA: Broad St Line Northbound Super Express Train from AT&T Station to Fern Rock Trans Center

[@ShawnmauriceJohnson-ug8bn]

also when the local train has turned it went left you can see on the right side and show the ridge-spur secret maintenance track in case y'all didn't see it.

Great Ride on that Super Express!

[@ShawnmauriceJohnson-ug8bn]

hint hint it is above the local and express tracks!

[@ShawnmauriceJohnson-ug8bn]

as you can see on the northbound local track it's complicated you have slow down.

I see on SEPTA the operator has to return to his seat from the left side door operation to resume. On MARTA there is a button with the left side door controls labeled "start" the operator presses that button after the doors have closed to start the train before he/she gets back to the operators seat. I'm sure there is some kind of safety feature where the operator has a certain amount of seconds to get in the seat and in control of the train before it comes to an emergency stop.

[@adenphilipwhite]

Philly and NYC are cousins

[@edanielssr6113]

I know this is late I'm from Philly and been to NY they have way more trains 3 levels and go way further I still love my subway though and how cone they wasn't on the express track hum

[@adenphilipwhite]

@@edanielssr6113 I stayed on n broad at the building musiq did love in I was out there for a month did a job Philly mad love

[@edanielssr6113]

I live in the south now but growing up in Philly I lived on the trains and busses best way to get around

[@OldsVistaCruiser]

I'm surprised that they stopped at Snyder. I thought that the sports expresses didn't stop until Walnut-Locust.

[@pflgrz]

Wasn't a sports express, this was a pope express. I'm still bitter about the service cuts during that time.

[@Blktxdom2004]

I grew up riding these trains…this was probably changed over the years.

[@Blktxdom2004]

How time flies... It takes minutes to get to City Hall Station from the complex🤔 They slacked juuuuuust a little. Lol

[@1AEROSOL.1PUFF]

Hold the camera to the glass, too much reflection.

[@havenas1020yt]

It was to the glass. Broad St Line cars are full cabs, I recorded from outside the cab as cabs are for operators and authorized personnel only

[@1AEROSOL.1PUFF]

You know what ? I forgot those cars are full cab, i haven't been on them in years.

[@csherard8]

My time is coming real soon. Can't wait to operate these trains

[@csherard8]

+Jason Crable what's up good brother

[@nyimglenn9909]

why didn't they cross over to the express tracks

[@havenas1020yt]

They stored the extra trains on the express tracks

[@OldsVistaCruiser]

It also made a stop where express trains don't normally stop.

[@Stolzing82]

@@havenas1020yt Nice video! I live in Europe now but I still love my SEPTA trains and I ride them when I am back in PHL. I rode these trains during the Papal Visit. I wish it could have been possible for the extra trains to have been stored on the Local tracks near switches so that this service could have started on the Local tracks at AT&T and then between Lombard and Walnut switched to the Express tracks for the remainder of the route. This would have eliminated Cecil B. but the trains would have run much faster. Maybe they could have stopped at Girard instead but I'd imagine they didn't want to close Cecil B. because it's Temple U's station and maybe storing the Kawasakis on the Express tracks was just easier. I had a ticketed seat for the Papal events on the Parkway and had to wade through the crowd to get to my spot. Considering how congested everything was topside I have to say I was glad that the service was available and ran as well as it did. Thanks for the video.

[@shawnmauricejohnson4393]

this date and year is inaccurate because when I was 18 years old in 1998 they was working on the express tracks so what the hell did that come from?

[@havenas1020yt]

Read the description of the video again.

[@Deejayboy]

This was fun. I grew up riding the BSL back in the 1950s. I see in the reflection you're wearing a SEPTA cap. Do you work for them or did you buy that? I thought I saw them for sale at the SEPTA store in center city. I live in Florida, but will be visiting Philly next Spring.

[@havenas1020yt]

+David James I work for SEPTA, and yes they do sell SEPTA hats at the transit store at 1234 Markest St. Enjoy your visit!

[@MMendelG]

I also grew up in Philly in the 50's and '60's. I have been looking for even an audio recording of the BSL trains leaving the station with that low rumble/hum that you heard when it would start up! Cheers.

[@csherard8]

still patiently waiting
