Some people DO call the RiverLINE a trolley because it runs through the streets of Camden like a streetcar. Yep, PATCO and the RiverLINE are trolley lines to a lot of people, unfortunately.
there is a guy in philly who has plenty kids and does not care for them he is a pizza/manager/cook/constructio n worker he waste his $ on diff gals/bars/cars he is a cheater/dirty/manipulator/liar and can ruin your rep trust me dont feel sorry for him initials M.A.M aka P N E A if you know him help to bring him down copy and paste
And for all of you wanting the rt.100 to be a trolley ASSHOLES, Before Septa got the N5 Train cars, They not only Bought CTA El cars, and Retro fitted the trucks from PATH trains, also They used the Old El Budd cars!!! are they Trolleys?
Haha. I recall one occasion where the Channel 6 news reported a trolley derailment at 69th St. and they showed a CTA car with its front truck off the track. So where was the trolley? Your efforts are to be commended, but we have a long uphill climb ahead of us. I would say at least 90% of the Rt. 100 riders and nearby residents call it a trolley.
The N-5's also have nice sounding Nathan P-3 air horns. I live maybe 2 miles from 69th St. Terminal but on a good day when the wind is just right, I can hear them loud and clear.
Today they had the 100th Anniversary (One year LATE) of the opening of 69th St. Terminal and the Philadelphia & Western RR. They had free rides on the N-5 cars plus many stands inside the terminal. The N-5 cars that now run on the line are multiple-unit passenger cars in much the same sense as a Silverliner or a Jersey Arrow, but made for one-man operation. They have the provision to run on 11,000 volt AC overhead in case the Cross-County Metro is ever opened. They are good for 80 MPH max.
lol wait i thought the cross county metro was for regional rail type train not the 100 speed line, thats like puttin the Broad street subway on the R7 line. You gotta explain this one to make it clear to me????
That's the SEPTA way, to get away as much as possible from railroad-type rules and go with CHEAPER trolley operating rules. They would just have to use their own tracks from Frazer to Thorndale (possibly the P&T?) and from Morrisville to Trenton (how they'd do that without constructing a new dedicated bridge I don't know).
On their own tracks???? hmmm just to ask would freight operation even allow a rapid transit trains on railroad lines??? Lol it would look weird but it would also fit in since the N-5 cars have that railroad sounding Horn, unlike the Market frankford train or septa trolleys.
"They would just have to use their own tracks from Frazer to Thorndale (possibly the P&T?) and from Morrisville to Trenton "wow so i guess these n-5 are gonna convert from rapid transit trains, to commuter trains? isnt that gonna put wear and tear on the cars????
So wait im confused now if the N-5 cars were going to run on overhead wires than im guessing their gonna b sharing tracks wit septa silverliners cars because if they weren't sharing, why would septa spend money to built a caternary system when they could just extend the N-5 third rail power to wherever its going. Lol remember thats the septa way "a.k.a. the cheapest way"
Remember SEPTA wanted to construct the "Schuylkill Valley Metro" as a light rail "interurban" that would run all the way from Philly to Reading. I know I mentioned before that the N-5's have the provision to run on AC overhead, but I've since been somewhat discouraged from them ever following that path ever since SEPTA more or less etched in stone the Rt. 100's trolley car image with the new sign they erected at Gulph Mills "Gulph Mills Route 100 Trolley Station." In order to keep crews....
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? They changed the sign???? I hope you're right because like you said it ain't no trolley line. It was a bona-fide RAILROAD only until 1970.
Trust me. I am a Rt. 100 operator, and I really PISSED A BITCH when they put that trolley sign up. also I have to correct alot of passengers, when they come up to me and say, what time does this trolley leave! I say to them, what trolley?
In fact I've run across some people who refer to the PATCO High-speed line as a trolley ("Haddonfield-is that where you catch the trolley to Philly?"). BELEIVE IT!!
i rode this line all the time in the 80s. this video ends looking at my old pal's parents house! i wish they still ran the old bullet cars, those things hauled...
i take the 100 on my way to get to philly to hop the atlantic city bus:)

... and operations seperate they would have to keep the Cross-County Metro seperate from the Class I railroads.

If you notice, Septa changed that disrespectful sign to HIGH SPED! why? cause the Rt. 100 is no trolley line!!!!!!!!!!!!
