Philadelphia Broad Street Line

Posted by Wallyhorse on Sat Feb 14 00:32:51 2026, in response to Tuscarora Almanac for February 13 and a Forgotten Station, posted by irtredbirdr33 on Fri Feb 13 12:27:05 2026.

Didn't realize until 1938 the Broad Street Line only went as far south as Lombard-South Street. This would in part explain why express service ended at Walnut-Locust and they didn't stay four tracks to at least Lombard-South if not later further south on Broad.

Service was extended from Snyder Avenue to what is now NRG Stadium I believe in 1973, two years after the sports complex opened there.
