And they had an R6 sign on the front window, even though the R-numbering system was abolished almost two years ago. |

A few of us came over on NJT & the conductor still called out the SEPTA rail connections with the "R" description! Some fans brought along R plates to be displayed. |

Those towers are a result of an agreement signed between the Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO) & Reading Company in 1927 to bring power from the then new Conowingo Hydro-Electric Dam Project on the Susquehanna River to the Westmoreland Substation to access PECO's distribution grid. The Wayne Junction frequency changers (2 15,000 kilowatt units) were fed from PECO's Westmoreland facility via undergroud cables. It was suggested to President Andrew T. Dice by PECO's General Manager Horace P. Liversidge & negotiations began between the company chief engineers around 1925.The towers carry a load of 100,000 kilowatts, 66,000 volts direct from the dam located just over the PA/Maryland border. The structures in the photo stand 157' high. PECO had been using various RDG right of way alignments for this purpose both inside & outside the city from their primary switching sub-station at Plymouth Meeting PA. None have the massive towers that hover over the Norristown Line from Shawmont to Philadelphia. Electric MU's would not begin running under them until January 30th 1933. |
