| SEPTA substation Lansdale PA March, April and June 2020 |
| SEPTA still has some money from Act 89 to spend on long overdue maintenance, and one of the projects is a complete rehabilitation of the Lansdale substation. |
 |
| Below, you can see everything they will be doing over the next 2 years (originally scheduled to have started in 2016 and completed in 2018). |
 |
| While it has been updated over the years, the bones of the substation dates back to the original electrification by the Reading Company. |
 |
| You can see the 100 year difference in technology from the old transformer on the right and the newer one on the left, installed in 2016 when its predecessor blew. |
 |
 |
| During this project, much of the lower parking lot will be used as a staging area. |
 |
| While a lot of the work will be hidden from view, one major change people will notice right away is the painting of the overhead structure. |
 |
 |
| By early June, all that was left of the old transformer was its base. |
