SEPTA - MFL from 40th St to 69th St Stations

[@cheezst8ke]

I never rode the el past 34th street. This was my first time seeing what the ride looks like on the other side of the tunnel. Thanks for the ride.

I wonder if anyone out there filmed the ride on the temporary track built during the construction of I-95? It was made mostly of wood and rose high above the already elevated roadway construction at Spring Garden street where the wind would rock it from side to side. At rush hour it was like riding in a crowded roller-coaster.

The mix of old and new with the EL Structure on the way to 69th Street I remember I seen that when I was younger.

@italiandom7221991 If you noticed, they were still building the station. All the stations closed on the Market St side at one point or another to be rebuilt.

[@Shinycelebi]

Glad you like the video. As far as I understand, no it's not finished yet. Then again I haven't been down there in a good bit. College caught up with me now and all.

[@Shinycelebi]

You're welcome. I need to go back one day and record the ride as it is now.

[@GeorgiaCarolina298]

I thank you for showing it.

[@timosha21]

i like this train model because passengers can see the tracks from a driver's point of view.

@mareobasbankz123 Confused at what you mean? They were doing the station is segments, they closed and took down one half of the platform to put up the new one, but to keep the station in service, they extended the platforms temporally.

[@Shinycelebi]

@bruce8420 Once upon a time, it was more elevated then subway. Beyond the point, I preferred the 69th st side because of original construction still in use where as the Frankford side got rid of theirs even though they do use the same middle piers to hold up the tracks.

[@Shinycelebi]

Neither have anything in common as far as I know. The station was built for the neighborhood in exchange for passing through it to 69th St. At least to my knowledge anyways, it could be slightly wrong, but the station and Sears have nothing to do with each other. In fact, Milbourne has already been rebuilt.

[@Shinycelebi]

The steel structure(red part) has all been replaced, including stations, it's all new, nothing old remained. Only 69th St is the last of the original MFL sadly.

BEAUTIFUL

[@italobambino43]

A fact that really annoyed me, they could have saved that section for a little bit of history. The main reason why they did not salvage any of this elevated because of it's design, the supports run straight down, and they were in the middle of the street, The Frankford end of the elevated was built between 1913 and 1921, the structural supports extend to the curbs and in one stretch between Church st. and Bridge it has center supports, they salvaged those, I saw them restore that stretch in 1993

[@Shinycelebi]

It starts and ends at the stations marked in the TITLE of the film. There is NO Market St station.

@ArtStone Depends on the time of day and the day itself.

[@francie18]

Like this video, very well done!

[@Jayayess1190]

Nice video, most times I take the el, I go towards Frankford.

[@airlinephl2]

cool 52nd st station my stop .are thay redoing 69st like frankford?

[@Shinycelebi]

@bruce8420 Huh? Have you bothered looking at the Septa website at all? I haven't been to Europe but I bet I can tell you what class train cars they use on the LU by doing some research. The Frankford El exists, it was rebuilt in place like the whole line been but its still there.

[@SROSELLI]

63rd street station just closed for reconstruction

[@Shinycelebi]

@backtoharmony Much appreciated.

[@ArtStone]

A bit short on passengers on the platforms. 8 car trains? People want mass transit so everyone else will ride it.

[@Shinycelebi]

@francie18 Thank you.

[@Shinycelebi]

Um, when I used to go to Philly, people always got on and off there.
