@busoperator1 I'm a local. I know it's not a trolley, pretty much everyone who rides it knows it's not a trolley, but everyone calls it a trolley anyway. "Trolley" is a lot less of a mouthful than "Route 100 High Speed Line." It's just local slang, or vernacular if "slang" isn't intelligent enough a word for you.
@Bastranz its a high speed third rail train. the locals are a bunch of retards! trolleys run in the streets along side with regular street traffic, and they have a overhead wife along with a pole. the 100 is a third rail powered train with its own railway. before septa took it over, it was called the philadelphia western railroad.
@busoperator1 What would you call it, though? A lot of the locals call it a "trolley" to differentiate it from from R5 "train", especially since they share station names, like Villanova, Radnor, Rosemont, Bryn Mawr, and Haverford.
The P&W and PRR shared a short stretch where they interchanged freight, and yes it does connect to that spur track you mentioned. If you watch the YouTube video about the Electroliners being delivered the P&W it shows that interchange track in use.
OOOOOhh!!!!! but wait im still confused?? though, if u look close enough to it, I noticed i saw an old broken up third rail their but i read up about and they said after the P&W trains left 69th street they went down track for a little while then reveresed direction, Now my question is did the P&W and PRR shared this track, and did this row track once connected to the that little spur track on the 100 line thats sits next to the terminal where usually one or two trains are stored at??
That's right. when you ride the El from 69th St. to Millbourne you will see an abandoned ROW to the left. This was the Cardington branch that ran from 69th St. to the Newtown Square branch, which ran into the current SEPTA Media-Elwyn line at Fernwood. The Cardington branch went under Market St. right before 63rd St.
