When I first saw the place when I was 16, summer of 1966, I wanted to live in Millbourne.

Wow, the infamous M3 Almond Joy's, Hot 🔥 Damn, I've been a passenger of those trains since the 70s, they'd rock you to death, but fun to ride!!! I grew up in West Philly, 52nd and Market is where we would board the train, wether East or West Bound!!! As Archie and Edith Bunker would say, "Those were the Days", lol!!!

This was likely somewhere between the years of '90-'92. The first time I remember taking the el was when I was 6 years old in '92. We went down center city to see Batman Returns at the movies.

Looking for a video that shows the old market street bridge I was wondering why the West side of the El looks newer the the East side When the west side was built first Then later on extended to frankford But it makes sense now The bridge and the stations got remodeled back in 2000 something 🤷🏾♂️ idk

When you think of it, the B-IVs could be considered a larger version of the M-3 (minus the roof ventilators). They shared the same propulsion controls but higher horsepower motors, Ohio Brass couplers, Cineston throttle/brake controller.

Not quite. The single units (601-646) were all Westinghouse. The married pairs? The odd-numbered car of the married pair were GE, and they were permanently coupled to the even-numbered car, which were Westinghouse.
