We observe Septa MU action at 30th Street with. my usual candor and humor. I did catch the Reading Heritage SV4 twice which looks gorgeous. Yes, I actually said an SV4 looks gorgeous. I’m not on weed 🤣🤣😀. We also caught Engineer Trainee Bill taking out a train for Wawa. Overall an interesting yet frustrating day

Love seeing the Reading Lines Logo.

They are doing a major rail replacement project between Lancaster and Harrisburg. Nobody has documented it yet.

17:31 sounds almost exactly like the MBTA's CTC-5 K3Hs from afar! Also yeah, that reading SL4 looks great, and I agree that they look like NJT Arrows. Only difference I see is the lack of center doors!

Good old 30th Street. Nice vid. I spent a lot of time in the past hanging around Track 4 to catch a train to Devon. A great future trip could be getting the Norristown line up to the end of the line and from there transferring to the old P&W high speed line down to 69th Street. From there you can get the Market-Frankfort line back to center city.

I hope your frustration was abated by your humor. Thanks Tim💚👌

Hello from Scotland, I have been a subscriber for a while very good content. You do

I’ve Always wanted to Railfan around the Philly area with septas, avelias, and other cool trains!
-
Wow! 280 on approach does present like the Arrow 3.😂
-
I saw the Silverliner IV heritage unit on the Warminster line from a distance. Looks great. We need some PRR and Conrail. Maybe the Penn Central as well. Please keep the great videos going
-
8:25 this should be familiar to anyone in the 1970s Philadelphia railroading since Silverliner IVs when first delivered had the 1970s SEPTA logo leftside on the right side either reading or Penn Central Railroads.

it's the Silverliner 4 Downpour.!!!!
-
Wow SEPTA just had a 60th birthday back in February 😮
-
NJT needs to put the NJDOT logos back on an 8 car set without disco stripes before they are retired in 2026.
-
The Vs are rarely run on weekends, it's more common to see IVs on most train. Which is why I find it surprising there were little to no Vs out that day.

In December I went on Septa train to Doylestown PA and it’s powered by AEM 7
-
Come on Tim those SL4's are not that bad. 😉
-
The Silverliner IV's look much better without the window band and front stripping. Did you have the distain for them in the 70's as you do today?

Wind River Chimes makes a set of wind chimes tuned to the sound of a K5LA, and the first person I thought of was you.
-
surprised you didn't do a rear view out to Harrisburg this time, you've been asking me all year about it! anyways yeah that Reading car looks amazing!

Gotta admit , the SL4 look cool tho.
