I remember seeing "Conrail" on the conductors' hats before the MTA created Metro-North. But the Newark-Philly trains were branded SEPTA in the 1970s, and the old Reading Terminal had SEPTA signage everywhere during that era. Both trains were also subsidized by PennDOT, just like today's RRD services are. (I don't recall the crews wearing "Conrail" cap devices, but this was not a well-known service.) Most telling of all, though, is that you could buy SEPTA tickets (that said "SEPTA" on them) in Newark. Today, you can buy SEPTA tickets at NYP, Newark, and all the NEC stations between NYP and Trenton. Getting SEPTA to do the Dinky wouldn't be nearly the obstacle some imagine it might be. |
