Lower track = Market - Frankfort, see earlier postings. I’ll end up getting the info from Rich Allman. He will know.

Drexelbrook when it was still single track on the Media line. With a regular Media car in hot pursuit, probably last westbound photo stop.
The triple-meet at Chester siding photo is posted a second tinme, becase with some help from Richard Allman, the contrast is improved slightly, and the somewhat sporoken-phole sky is corrected.

Same line, further from the city on the PRoW.
Not sure that my photo editing restored the roll-siign entirerly accurately, and comments are requested.
A more recent (1970s) visi8t to the Philkl,y area yielded this photo of the ex-PRR Chestnut Hill West Line:

John Stern deserves credit for many of my photos. As a teenager, I was really a sidekick to him, and he selected the photo spots, and I just stood alongside and duplicated what he did.
I suspect his photos didn’t (don’t?) require the anti-tilt editing that I find necessary, and now can do without making lines very jagged,
This was a GREAT series.
Girard Avenue PCC streetcars will return in September, and thecSEPTA website SHOULD have more information.
They did return. I may have posted an earlier edit-restoration of the West Chester MP-54s on one of the Trains magazine Forum threads, but my later editing makes the station signs clearer.
