I'm not too familiar with ZOO or the Philadelphia area. Are there any grade crossovers than could be converted into flyovers?Zoo is almost all flyovers. It's the curves that slow things down there. The only other thing I could think of is perhaps routing a few trains over what I believe is the CSX line on the other side of the river and putting a couple of platforms there with an enclosed bridge extending from 30th St Station That's the former B&O line. That railroad used to have competing trains running between the New York area and Washington DC, namely the Royal Blue. Their Philly station was at 24th Street; there's nothing left of that station now. |
