That's an idiotic thing to do if you ask me.

@Nekosys From what I heard, people weren't too happy about stopping at the gates. For those small cars, maybe it was a little overkill. Still, seems like a waste to go through the effort to place them, only to take them down...

@CSXkid22 why??????? is that not dangerous yet stupid to the full extent!!
-
Yes Paper Mill Rd. is also getting traffic signals as well. According to a trolley operator I talked to today the State is supposedly behind it.

Thanks. Yes I've seen covered-up traffic signals at Leamy Ave. and Saxer Ave. so I assume the rest of the crossings will get them, too. Amazing how they are getting away from something safe like gates and flashers and replacing them with something that makes the trolley line look like a busway.

My father used to operate them on all three lines....when they still ran the ardmore line....that was back when they ran the brills and interbourghs 80's cars and 01's where their numbers I think! Great videos!!!!

Those electronic bells are an abomination

How did you get that video on google maps?
NEWSFLASH!! SEPTA is taking out the flashers and gates at the crossing at the Drexelbrook stop and at the Marshall Rd. crossing and replacing them with standard traffic signals. Are they going to do the same with the rest of them?

yes they are replacing the gates on beatty road and at the pine ridge station. I do not know if they are replacing them at paper mill but i think most of the springfield stops are getting them so i'm assuming it is
