Center City Commuter Connection - Line Operations While some might think it would be better to pair lines by what through-tunnel trips would be the most popular, that through-tunnel (from an outlying station on the PRR to an outlying station on the Reading) ridership is very, very small, and to some extent dominated by weekend and college travel to/from Trenton. The ex-PRR Chestnut Hill line and the ex-Reading Norristown branch run within a few hundred yards of each other near their respective main line junctions, in a North Philadelphia neighborhood called Swampoodle (the area between the two lines is mostly vacant and isolated land). SEPTA tried to abandon the Cynwyd service on several occasions, but was rebuffed by the community, which pointed out that the decline of the line and poor ridership was mostly SEPTA's own fault for running such poor service. www.pennways.com /Commuter_Tunnel_Line_Ops.html   (1477 words)

kyw.com - Second Day For SEPTA Strike SEPTA spokesman Jim Whitaker said volume was heavy on commuter rail lines, which remained in service because those employees have a different union contract. Livingston, who usually takes SEPTA, said he dusted off his bicycle and was happy to find that his commute was six minutes shorter than usual. SEPTA said talks broke off because union leaders rejected the agency’s health care offer, which would have required employees to pay 5 percent of the premium. cbs3.com /topstories/local_story_304211143.html   (774 words)

Workers World June 25, 1998: Philly transit strikers stop scab plan On the eve of the rally, SEPTA officials announced that they had "postponed indefinitely" plans to run trains and trolleys with supervisory scabs. On June 8, tens of thousands of commuters were stranded at dozens of stations when striking members of Local 234 set up picket lines at the R1, R2, R8, the Airport Line and other terminals. The conductors, switchers, train engineers and other workers on the non-striking rail lines honored the TWU picket lines, until SEPTA persuaded a federal judge to order the non-striking rail workers back to work. www.workers.org /ww/1998/septa0625.php   (690 words)

Federal Transit Administration - Planning & Environment SEPTA and the city service proposals are intended to supplement the existing R3 line and R7 line Regional Rail Service, which traverses Northeast Philadelphia, and are separate from the rail and transit components of the pending I-95 reconstruction project. SEPTA's proposed Northeast Metro, which includes conversion of the R8 Fox Chase line to light rail service, use of CONRAIL's New York Short Line, and operation on local streets to the new Philadelphia Convention Center, were added to the Planning Commission's study at SEPTA's request. SEPTA disagrees with the conclusions and recommendations of the technical study and believes the Northeast Metro concept warrants further analysis through a separate MIS process. www.fta.dot.gov /publications/reports/planning_environment_2749.html   (389 words)

Plan to cut R2 line a ploy or reality? (phillyBurbs.com) | Courier Times A SEPTA proposal to eliminate several rail lines and bus routes - including the R2 commuter train linking Warminster and Willow Grove to Philadelphia - may simply be a threat to get more state funding, some say. In 1995, that tax generated $165 million for SEPTA and was expected to grow to about $200 million per year, Ellis said. SEPTA board members said they don't expect the state to make up the entire $55 million shortfall, but they are hopeful that more money will be put toward mass transit in the end. www.phillyburbs.com /pb-dyn/news/111-04082003-69936.html   (892 words)

Railfan.net Forums - Surviving RDG stations  SEPTA owns the track now and the East Penn Railways (EPRY) operates the trackage from Telford (where they interchange with CSX) up to Quakertown (where the EPRY locomotive is stored). With little parking and a short platform, the station was closed by SEPTA around 1990; however, the train still goes by as it did in 1835, and stops at nearby adjacent stations (Ivy Ridge and Miquon). Returning to Septa's R7 line, we find Wyndmoor station--a surprisingly imposing structure for a suburban line, and one still proclaiming its Reading heritage. forums.railfan.net /?board=Reading&action=display&num=1042239426&start=160   (1753 words)

On Track On Line - Korell Phila Area RailFest 2005 Since SEPTA has no photo ban, it was apparent that the conductor was nervous about somebody being in the way in the event an impending collision would cause the engineer to leave his post and move into the body of the train.

He explained that a deal was struck between SEPTA and CSX in that SEPTA would run their trains on one track while CSX would use the other. www.on-track-on-line.com /trips/trip-2005-03-18-korell.shtml   (4666 words)

Girl, 15, killed crossing rails The tracks are used by both Amtrak and SEPTA's R7 line. Although SEPTA uses the tracks, they are controlled and maintained by Amtrak, said SEPTA spokesman Jim Whitaker.

Railfan.net Forums - Classic SEPTA Stations There are so many “heritage” stations on the SEPTA lines that even just a bare list would probably swamp this board and probably bore most readers. If we're going to include the former Red Arrow Lines stations (whose "family resemblance" was intentional) we can't fail to include 69th Street Terminal itself, particularly the old PTC (MFSE) section, which is the only remaining portion of the original terminal. According to USGS maps, the area between the crossover of the BandO and PRR at 58th Street (near the old Brill plant) to the east and Cobbs Creek to the west held several Pennsy stations that served the community that is now the Elmwod neighborhood of southwest Philly. forums.railfan.net /forums.cgi?board=SEPTA&action=display&num=1054333337   (1273 words)
