So less than 20 miles of the AC line will be operative and 40 miles inoperative. And the 554 starts at Lindenwold, so what's behind this move?? |

It's still a sixty-mile ride from Philly to AC and you'd have to restore more double track, never mind the need for gaps in the third rail at the grade crossings that still exist as well as automation infrastructure; you also evict the freight traffic from the line. Then you also end up closing Cherry Hill and removing the purpose of the (very expensive) Pennsauken transfer station.Besides, in the past, where PATCO now runs was part of the general railway network, albeit running to Camden instead of into Philadelphia and connecting with the old Philadelphia Bridge Line. The old ROW used to be at grade. |

Anyone familiar with the PRSL would be surprised how bare bones the service was in the 1970's based on how many photos were taken of the RDC's and whatnot. |

They'd also be shaking their heads at the gaping difference between the part of that railroad transformed into PATCO and the rest of the system. |
