I remember seeing these trolley units in August 1994.

Been decades since I visited this station. I usually transfer trains at 30 Street Station or Jefferson Station.

SEPTA eastbound train leaves Downingtown for Philadelphia.











Four minutes later the westbound Amtrak train arrives. I am going to Lancaster.





I leave the beautiful Lancaster train station forty minutes later.











Nice scenes near the train station.

Just in time for a tasty dinner. Very yummy indeed.








You are asking what this has to do with Philly trains?





Maybe I lost my marbles?





This is a model train forum not a mouthful indulge forum.





Somewhat back on track.





Looks like an old subway car.





Former Philadelphia subway car series model B1 seen at Wallingford Connecticut.

Pizza restaurant in a restored Philadelphia subway car.
Would have been better in the Philadelphia area.
