I was planning on moving to NYC when I retire, but Philly is so much less expensive, so now it's crept into my mind. Am I missing the reason it's so cheap?
@@TrainsFerriesFeet some of the apartment neighborhoods around downtown aren't the best but that may have changed since I lived there in 2013. I think it's mostly because Philadelphia isn't New York. That's why it's so much cheaper. Make sure to live on a subway/El, trolley, or regional rail line because driving into downtown is a nightmare. The red arrow and subway surface trolley lines are 👌👌👌 and will he getting new trains in the next few years if what I've heard is correct. Philadelphia also has one of the best commuter rail networks in the nation.
can someone tell me if there is a light rail that goes close to washington dc? i know the two cities arent close,but from the way info is given you would believe that you can cross over to washington dc by a light rail
Yes even in car body width CTA is 9' 4" The MFL is 9'3" the only major difference is the track gauge and car body length . Greetings from Chicago Illinois
QuarioQuario54321 I'm not certain that the heavy rail shown here is, but all of their trolley lines use "Pennsylvania Trolley Gauge" (5' 2.5") because, at one time, that was a popular standard. Pittsburgh, PA light rail still uses it, but they have converted to pantograph from trolley pole. New Orleans still uses that gauge too.
QuarioQuario54321 At the time The EL was built, broad gauge or PA Trolley gauge was more popular in Philly because at that time Philly was 99.9% Trolleys.
Philly has an amazing public transit system, its just some of the people who ride it, give it a bad rep. I love riding Septa!
The Market Frankford line is my favorite line by Septa, and I like how the stations are just like the New York Subway stations
because both were built with the Cut and Cover method. so they have similar designs.
Oh yeah and Same for the trains in Chicago
The lines in Chicago were bore in tunnels. not cut and cover.
True
And boston
I live in Oregon now but will always love SEPTA, Especially the Market Frankford line.

@@losh330 Thank you!
I use to live near there so many memories.......I miss the city
Damn....dat joint look like a Roller Coaster Ride.
Eagles wrap for the market Frankford line is Awesome
What a big train with small wheels.
Technically there are 3 subways serving Philadelphia. PATCO runs from 15/16th and Locust to Lindenwold.
Lazar Gelfand yes but it still serves Philadelphia.
4 the trolley lines
It is always strange for a New Yorker to look at a two track outside configuration.
Miss the El, live in Florida now
tom o'd live in fl 2 i also miss the L wish they had trains out here
i like this collor blanket steel outdoor on bridges (...)
The trains definitely have great acceleration compare to NYC system.
Only the case for the old trains really.
The Market Frankford El was pack for the eagles parade it was free to ride on that day
I just came here after listening to 'it won't be long now' from in the heights Vanessa had a point, but this doesn't bother me all that much
The MFL is underground entirely when downtown.
Legal parabéns ótimo 😀😀💟💟💟💟😁😁📀🎙️🎙️💟👍👍🚚

Similar to Chicago el

Boston’s orange line is also 9’3”
Why did they make this broad guage?

Buddy Clem Pittsburgh’s system is new and New Orleans with one exception is a new line with old streetcars
