    The Budd built Almond Joy Market Frankford subway trains looked almost like the R38 of NYC subway trains.

    I’ve just spotted the old Sears Robuck building in the distance or something because I used to ride on the 1960’s Budd train as a young boy & again as a teenager riding it from 69th. street to Frankford Terminal because I remember seeing all of the old. Stations plus seeing it in first person riding below the river bed between 30th. Street & 22nd. Street then I remember having to get off at Spring Garden Station due to massive track reconstruction since there were buses to shuttle passengers to Huntington station because I remember the former Prism Cable Network Station there over 35 years ago .

    The world's very first Bullet Train, nearly 60 years old in this video. Beautiful.

    When I was a kid in the late 1970's and lived in Delaware County right outside of Philadelphia, my mom would take me on that ride to Norristown and back, just for fun.

    This has got to be 1987 or 1988. The old one-sided Norristown Station on the NHSL still existed along with its old viaduct stump, the Sears after 63rd Street was not only still standing, but was still open, most of the El cars still do not have the SEPTA logo on neither the front nor sides, as the El gets closer to 46th Street, we see the Liberty One building and no sign of Liberty Two being built, and the old viaduct before 46th Street, when that portion of the El still ran above ground many years before, the viaduct on the Frankford side still had its original olive green paint. Also, at that time, on the street level where the El curves away from I-95 towards Girard, was an old B1 or B2 car from the Broad Street Line, an old ex-Kanas City PCC trolley in its Bicentennial colors and an old Hog Island trolley all stored in a gated lot. Some knucklehead(s) destroyed them by setting fire to them sometime in the mid to late 1990's. A huge loss to Philly transit history. Anyway, great video, great memories. Thanks.

      Liburtu, this footage is prior to 1990, also, those cars you mentioned that were stored under i-95? I remember driving past them, i had to stop, i was in utter shock that they were there, i thought to myself these cars are sitting ducks. They were put there because they were displaced, they were owned by the Buckingham Trolley company, they operated the Penns Landing Trolley line on Delaware avenue. They eventually had to vacate the pier just adjacent to the Bridge. This was when they were developing residential condos along the waterfront, early to mid 90's. So, those guys from Penns Landibg had nowhere to store those cars. They should have had somr hindsight and placed those cars with other Museums, they would still be here today.

      I think earlier than that. Reconstruction began in 1985 and a frog was installed south of Berks not too long after.

      It's earlier than that. The new transportation center in Norristown was finished in '86. In this video, construction hadn't even been started. This video was shot somewhere between '82-'85. I know this because a friend of mine was on that track crew.

      @@yesthisisvic My guess is around May 1985, seeing as how the old PRR Norristown station had been completely razed by then.

    I love this video. Thanks for sharing. I grew up 2 blocks from the el in frankford and this is how I remember it as a kid. It was rebuilt when I was in high school. This is what got me into the hobby.

    Is there anybody reading these comments because I’ve just spotted the old West Cathode High School For Boys over on the far right because I’ve ridden this train back in the 80’s & 90’s because I was riding past48th. & Market street when I’ve spotted the former Benjamin Franklin Lighting & Chandelier supply building & the former corner bar on south 48th. street which brings back so many memories since I’d ridden this train over the years because all of the old structures are now gone plus there’s a Turn7 outlet where the former Ben Franklin Lighting & Chandelier supply business one stood .

    36:41 I always wondered what those little "houses" to the right were. Something that was used when the line was originally built? Also, this was filmed on on of those cars that had that wind whistle. Always took me a few stops to get used to it.

      This was in the early '80s. Just before they built the new transportation center in Norristown (opened in '86), they laid new seamless track the entire length from Norristown to 69th Street.
