SEPTA (Philadelphia, PA): Broad Street Line 𝑺𝒖𝒃𝒘𝒂𝒚 to Fern Rock | FULL RIDE!

12:40 "Everyone would appreciate it if you would stop holding the door. The train can move even if you're in the door; I don't know what makes you think that it can't. One of these days you're gonna find out the hard way. The train can absolutely move even if you're in the door! The only reason why it doesn't is because we see you in there!" -The operator's rant

12:54 Lol the train operator had had enough.

Hopefully in about two years I'll be operating these trains. Praying for it and patiently waiting

12:41 - What a savage operator

I had ridden this Broad Line all the way except the far South (between the lines: Ellsworth and Pattison) when I was little in 1960s and 1970s.

This brought back so many childhood memories I live out in Texas now

ATT Station actually has a lower platform. it was designed to help handle a sports game rush. I don't think its been used since the 90s though. The city had planned to build a western extension from Synder but that never happened. that is why there is that weird curve there. ironically the city owns the cars but leases them to SEPTA. the city also owns the MFL from 15th to 69th street I believe.

I rode the subway daily from fifth grade pretty much through when I finally moved away, since I attended school as first Spring Garden Station and then Olney. Lived up by Fern Rock. this video makes me SO nostalgic and happy, thank you.

Omg.This brings back SO many memories.I grew up down on Penrose Ave.I remember as a child back in the 70's taking the train with my mother.I would see the lights from the train coming out of the tunnel,hearing the sound and thinking,it looked like a MONSTER...My mom would squeeze my hand to assure me,everything was OK-Thats,a mother's love-😌.We usually got on at,Broad and Oregon.We could walk to the Stadium or the Spectrum down Pattison ave.South Philly.My home forever----

Thanks for bringing back old memories of visiting philly. I remember a drunk mob of people with cops at AT&T station and entering a creepy neighborhood at another.

Fairmount is interesting because it has two platforms - one for the Broad Ridge Spur and the other side platforms for the Broad Street line. Last month when I stopped there, I wondered how people change at Fairmount for the two lines, had a quick glance at the stairs below, but I had a cheesesteak at Jimmy G's steaks at the same station on my mind so I had to leave the station before it closed. What I observed is, the Broad Ridge Spur's platform is lower than the Broad Street line's platform, kind of offset. Honestly I would not recommend making a transfer between the two lines at Fairmount because of the amount of stairs, and it was not explicitly mentioned that it was wheelchair accessible. Maybe in the future, both parts of Fairmount can be retrofitted as such.

the same leaking pipes cracked stairs from forty years ago! always money for parades and concerts but never for repairs

Cool video. I used to ride the subway every day from City Hall to Olney for 4 years while attending Central High. Haven't been north of City Hall in over 20 years. Was neat to see it again.

still the H and XH bus wow

We need an active Motorman to do a Cab Ride video!

I am from New York just here checking out other cities subway system compared to here in New York. I check out Chicago's now here. SEPTA seems pretty cool!

I remember I rode this as a teen one summer day back in the 70s. It felt like a train ride in Calcutta.

Cool, never been to the Fern Rock side.
