Railfan Pictures of the Week - 4/5/2026
 
August 17 2025 Sunday is usually an off day for SEPTA extra crews, except when emergencies arise. On this Sunday, Silverliner rescue qualified as an emergency as Extra 91 was dispatched from Wayne Electric to bring back a bunch of dead Silverliner IV's from Doylestown.
First it looked like they would pull a married pair, Silverliner IV SPAX 163 and 164, out of the yard.
Three cars on Track 2 (led by Silverliner IV SPAX 156) were also on the list, all with their pantographs down.
By the time they were heading home, it appears they decided to pull the three cars first, then add the married pair on the end ...
as Silverliner IV SPAX 156 is right behind the engine as they approach Hancock Street in Lansdale PA.
