Some underground rail action of the Market-Frankford Line and underground trolley routes 10, 11, 13, 34, and 36. The Market-Frankford has previous delays in the video so some trains were running slow throughout the video. The equipment in the video is 1980 Kawasaki LRV's and 1996 Adtranz M4's. There is a lot of trolley vs el races in this video!! If you enjoyed, please show your support by leaving a like, subscribe for more and comment!!

    19th street is the last untouched original station in the tunnel. Although I have seen pictures of there being a more elaborate staircase that came down from the south instead of the east and west sides. The railings and columns are still the original ones from the 1907 construction.

    None of the subway-surface trolleys nor the stations are accessible to the handicapped or elderly as of 2022. I don't know how SEPTA gets away with it. They flash their middle finger to the ADA and nothing is said or done about it. Now that I'm old and disabled, it affects me personally. No longer can I ride on those 42 year old high-floor cars with their narrow blinker doors and steep steps, nor can I climb up stairs in the stations. At the rate SEPTA is going about it, I predict it will be ten or twelve years before they put new accessible, low-floor trolleys in service and install elevators in the stations. They've been talking about it for decades. Talk is cheap. I won't be around to see it. I'm almost 80 years old and ill. But as dangerous a place as Philadelphia has become, I really don't miss going there anymore.
