Railfan Pictures of the Week - 4/25/2010
| SEPTA Doylestown Line Landale PA April 21 2010 |
|
Usually SEPTA operates the older Silverliner II's and III's together, preferring to run the Silverliner IV's by themselves, but thanks to some midday moves on the West Trenton and Doylestown trains, some mixed consists can be found on a fairly regular basis. On the Doylestown runs, Train 542 cuts two or three cars at Doylestown, returning into the city with the remaining cars as Train 531. For the evening rush, Train 558 picks up those cars and returns as 553 which runs all the way to Thorndale. There is a similar move on the West Trenton Line involving Trains 4354/4145. On April 21 2010, Train 542 is led by Silveliner III 226 as it departs Lansdale Station. |
