The Chestnut Hill West Line should be connected to the the express tracks of the Broad Street Subway. Of course electrical systems and signalling would need to br retrofitted into Rapid Transit useage and a short connector would need to be built, but this would give the residents of Nicetown, G-Town, Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill a much faster and cheaper way downtown. The Chestnut Hill East Line could then retain its R status or be abandoned altogether.
