I saw one of the cab cars on the back of a work train in Wayne Yard. I guess it's the end of their revenue career.

They painted over the graffiti on some of the trailers today. I didn't see 2460 or 61 today, so maybe ex Budd man's suggestion is correct.

They'd have to clean up that graffiti'ed car pretty good if that's the case.

The engine's still in use. I saw it by the side of the shed north of Wayne Junction on Tuesday, where 9251 starts it run.

A few more platforms would have to be built for AMTRAK service wouldn't they?

That'll be the day.

If the comets ever do go back in service they will need graffiti removal. 3 were tagged pretty good at Overbrook when I saw them Friday. Really? Which side was it on? I've never seen any on it. Are you sure it isn't their SPAX numbers? They sprayed those on the old Silverliners as they were going f...

The bi-levels are a long ways from being on SEPTA's metals. Ridership could spike before then. But all the same, the talk about the MARCs has long been all just talk.

I'm guessing all talk of acquiring MARC single-level railcars has dried up.

What's the current status of these? Last Monday, I saw them Overbrook Yard again.
