  • Is it true that the trains normally run at capacity, like some pointed out during the Phillies Parade Pandemonium?

  • I've never had to stand on a SEPTA train before, but the crowd riding the train usually justifies the number of cars they are using at any given time. The exception is late nights, when not a lot of people ride it.

  • I'm guessing that this is an R5 coming from Paoli/Malvern/Thorndale rather than an R5 coming from Lansdale/Doylestown because the locomotive is in the back. It's my understanding that the locomotives are on the traditional Pennsylvania side of the train.

  • It was indeed coming from Paoli, because it was on the "outbound to Doylestown" track, even though 30th Street was its last stop. I have taken an afternoon R5 Paoli express before (I have video of it arriving at 30th Street) and the engine is pulling. Also, I think only Silverliners operate on the Doylestown portion.

  • I was on the broad street line and it was packed like shit!

  • Whoa how cool.

  • That is a mistake decline What I said.

  • Push and pull trains (the one with the locomotive) operate on the Doylestown side too.
