PHOTOS: SEPTA railfan excursion Thursday

Posted by chuchubob on Fri Aug 23 12:26:33 2019

Ten participants in a large railfan email list railfanned SEPTA on Thursday. Several members of the group came from out of town, so we met at 30th Street Station at 10 AM for a 10:19 start on Thorndale train 521 to Radnor. One participant came on the NJ Transit Atlantic City Line from Egg Harbor City scheduled to arrive 30th Street at 10:00. It arrived at 10:16 (late AC Line trains are now the norm), but SEPTA train 521 was 7 minutes late, so he made it.
The plan was to take the P&W (Norristown High Speed Line) to Norristown and back to 69th Street Terminal, but since train 521 was late, the slow walkers didn't make it in time.
