I was looking at a detailed map of the diversion tracks used by Septa when the tunnel is closed. How specifically are cars routed when this track is in use? It appears there is the ability to loop back a several places. Do cars go from one route though to other numbered routes or do they go to the stop closets to the MF line and then circle back? At one point it appears as if two parallel tracks cross each other near Filbert St. Do the cars in fact cross each other when this diversion is in use?
I see diversion track north of Lancaster Ave. I am guessing that is the least used of it all as the 15 never needs to avoid the tunnel?
In a normal day when the tunnel is not closed, how often do cars use these tracks to run from car barns to their routes? Would you see this most often before and after rush hour?
Thanks for any help understanding this.
