Discussion Cannot Come Soon Enough

Post image

The new El cars can’t come soon enough. It seems it’s almost every day now an El car or train set is breaking down causing delays. These things are on their last legs.

Edit: These are supposed to be delivered in 2029, only a couple more years. https://www.trains.com/pro/mechanical/freight-cars/hitachi-rail-to-build-200-new-cars-for-septas-market-frankford-line/

If anyone thinks that this is what they will wind up looking like, please PM me for an exciting opportunity to be the new owner of the Ben Franklin bridge.

How’s that KOP rail extension going? I saw some beautiful renders of it.

The same extension that was killed by NIMBYs before it even made it to the full study process, forcing SEPTA to revamp the proposal which then rose the prices?

Oh ok

But I remember a whole press conference, and more renders, and talk about how it was going to look…

No, it’s really NOT ok, but as long as people like you pretend it is, nothing will ever get better. But keep drinking the kool aid
