Does the cynwyd line ever run with more than 1 car other than for special trains, like the first silverliner v revenue run, the last silverliner ii/iii revenue run, and that amtrak train that ended up there by mistake in november? Did it ever run with more than 1 car after it was truncated to Cynwyd?

I think towards the end of the day, I've seen two-sets here and there.

SEPTA wouldn't have much need for a 2+ car long train because of relatively low ridership on the line.

Maybe this video has a longer train. It's been a while since I last watched it:

That clip's gotta be my favorite youtube video of them all

. Just as well, maybe SEPTA has a need to every now and then...
