Posted by kp5308 on Sun Jul 1 22:42:06 2012, in response to Re: PHOTOS: Last Run Fans, posted by Mitch45 on Sun Jul 1 16:38:25 2012. What line or route is being closed down?Since you asked, the 52nd St. flyover that outbound Cynwyd trains use is due to be closed because the bridge is so bad. Shot of the grading with the bridge in the background:  This "new" grade was the Schuylkill Valley Branch freight line into 52nd St. yard. I have never seen a station with platforms as narrow at those in the 1st photo. That is a stairwell/elevator to the right. Anyway Track 6B at Suburban is not run thru to the CCCT & loads all trains except the Cynwyd service from behind where the photo is taken closer to the bumping post:  |

In that first shot, those have to be some of the cleanest underground tracks..well, cleanest railroad track period, I ever saw!!Because they stub end at Suburban they see little use, usually storage during the weekday.....none on the weekends IIRC. The push pulls to the ex-PRR side usually start from there. See picture of Fred above. |

Posted by Jersey Mike on Mon Jul 2 10:11:39 2012, in response to Re: PHOTOS: Last Run Fans, posted by monorail on Mon Jul 2 07:51:47 2012. The Valley flyover was used to fly Main Line track #4 over the freight tracks that were situated to the north of the Main Line through track between VALLEY interlocking and ZOO interlockings. I doubled as part of a flying junction to allow passenger trains to access the PRR Schuylkill Branch, with eastbound trains ducking under the main line via a tunnel. The switch between Main track #4 and the westbound Schuylkill Branch was at the west end of the flyover bridge.Until 1994 most westbound Main Line trains would fly up and over Main Line track #2 and various crumbling freight tracks and then head down the other side. When the Paoli Shoppes were closed SEPTA built the new Overbrook Mantainence facility on the RoW of track #4, with track #4 being relocated with a flat crossing over Main 2 at the new STILES interlocking. The bridge was already in a bad way and for the last 15 years SEPTA has been playing chicken with the city unable to close the Cynwyd branch, but unwilling to invest in improvements. It looks like SEPTA finally blinked. |
