RDT: Welcome to the SEPTA Forum...You can start by searching the SEPTA Forum Archives for
information on the Market-Frankford Line - there are 20 years of topics and posts available...
Railroad.Net 20th Anniversary: March 11-12, 2004 is when this site began...
I would also suggest Market-Frankford Line videos available on YouTube for starters...
From 69th Street Terminal to Bridge/Pratt (Frankford Transportation Center) is about a 45 minute ride...
There are head-end or Train Operators view videos available specifically...
BC - I would rather describe the 1960 Budd cars as the previous retired M3 car fleet...
Not everyone remembers their nickname from the four fans/air intakes on the roof of each M3 car...
Now that they have been retired and out of service for 25 years...The M3 cars ran from 1960-1999...
Just remember - "You Can't Get to Heaven On the Frankford El"
There is a past SEPTA Forum discussion - and YouTube video available - with this song title...MACTRAXX
EXPRESS TRAIN TO NEW YORK PENN STATION-NO JAMAICA ON THIS TRAIN-PLEASE STAND CLEAR OF THE CLOSING TRAIN DOORS
