Does the PTC system used by SEPTA and by Amtrak in SE Pennsylvania allow for the operation of a single car Silverliner (be it 4 or 5) in normal revenue service?

Everyone - For the second consecutive year there will be just ONE Santa Express train to Center City Philadelphia: The train serves all intermediate South Philadelphia BSL stations Oregon through Walnut-Locust. The era of having multiple Santa Trains from Regional Rail, MFSE and BSL looks to have e...

Jeff K., unless you know something that I don't, the only place I've seen anything about a proposed expansion is in the Philadelphia 2035 document. There isn't any movement within DRPA to even embrace this idea, let alone actively support it. With regards to expansion east to Atlantic City, former P...

Apparently CANNOdesign thinks so!

Two questions: 1) I recall reading that the cars would be transferred to Toronto in support of the system electrification there. Is that not an option? 2) Any chance that a new Mount Royal tunnel might be built for the St. Jerome line and the Mascouche line (via a new ramp north of Chabanel) in the ...

Lets dig this topic out of the grave.

Has anybody recently been to the 17th & Indiana Bridge location? If so, could you describe the current level of danger in the area?

Should this suprise anyone given that Gloucester County went for Trump in 2016 by 12 points?

This is the concept of connecting the northbound former Reading trunk with the Norristown and Chestnut Hill West lines (assuming the original Swampoodle connection is completed) via the former Pennsylvania Railroad bridge over the former Reading trunk between 16th Street junction and Allegheny Avenu...

Again, simply asking if it's physically possible, not about the NIMBY or political aspect. NIMBYkiller, the short answer is yes for 5,6 & 7 if you dive and shift northward, but I'm not sure about 0. As it is isolated to the south of tracks 1,2,3 & 4, incorporating track 0 track into part of...

Once the ATM Deux Montagnes is converted to Light Rail (assuming it eventually will happen), what will happen to the EMU single level rolling stock? No other commuter rail line in Montreal is electrified, and certainly the cost of electrification wouldn't be justified simply to continue use the EMU ...

In seeking more info for NorthEastTrainman, I took a look at the two pamphlets from the BSL railfan trips in 1988 and 1991. Included in the documentation is a copy of a PTC flyer announcing "Ridge - 8th Subway service extended to Erie station - Broad & Erie" dated November 17, 1943. It...

Typical of the DRPA. Let's spend $2 million (!?!) on a study on the possibility of reopening the station. I hope it will at least include a strategy for creating safe pedestrian access for the residential area between the Ben Franklin Bridge and the I-95 ramps. I think reopening the station is a via...
