I'm glad SEPTA's getting a Sprinter, but gee whiz—what did they use to design it, Microsoft Paint? The only thing that could make it uglier would be "SEPTA" being in Comic Sans.

I thought this was quite a cool shot posted from the lead locomotive of the SEPTA Sprinter and three MARC Chargers. Even if the tweet itself is technically incorrect - SEPTA has other electric locomotives.
