The Broad Street Line (BSL), also known as the Broad Street subway (BSS), Orange Line, or Broad Line, is a subway line owned by the city of Philadelphia and operated by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA). The line runs primarily north-south from the Fern Rock Transportation Center in North Philadelphia through Center City Philadelphia to NRG station at Pattison Avenue in South Philadelphia; the latter station provides access to the stadiums and arenas for the city's major professional sports teams at the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, about a quarter mile away. It is named for Broad Street, under which the line runs for almost its entire length.

The line, which is entirely underground except for the northern terminus at Fern Rock, has four tracks in a local/express configuration from Fern Rock to Walnut-Locust and two tracks from Lombard-South to the southern terminus at NRG station. It is one of only two rapid transit lines in the SEPTA system overall alongside the Market–Frankford Line, though Center City Philadelphia is also served by four stations of the PATCO Speedline rapid transit line which runs from Center City Philadelphia through Camden, New Jersey to Lindenwold, New Jersey. With about 115,000 boardings on an average weekday, it is the second busiest route in the SEPTA system. ~Wikipedia

    These videos are so therapeutic for me. I was born in Philadelphia, and practically loved on the Broad Street Line. I left Philly when I was 13, and I haven't been back there since 2018. These are the sounds of my childhood. They will never leave me.

    I grew up in Philadelphia and took theBroad Street Subway every day to Temple University. My mother took it at night to go to Philadelphia Orchestra concerts.

    Idk how or why these cars work perfectly fine with some glitches and malfunctions. But on the mfl it’s a whole problem. If 1 car is gonna have a malfunction then the whole set goes with it. Ain’t no way
