When PATCO first ran in 1969, top speed was 75 mph. Then came the energy crisis of the early 1970s when gasoline prices doubled. That's when PATCO reduced the top speed to 65 mph, as it is to this day.
Depends where you want to get it. The furthest out you can go in NJ is Lindenwold and the furthest in Philly is 15-16th and Locust. All stations west of Ferry Ave (Camden) have good parking lots. The biggest I believe is Woodcrest, second being Lindenwold, and third being Ashland. Though the ticketing system is like zones. The further you go out the more money your paying. Lindenwold, Ashland, & Woodcrest to Philly 1 way is $3.00 and round trip is $6.00
Nice video!

Does it turn around at the end or just reverse?
It reverses.
I rode the other day and tested the speed. it maxes out at 65mph. I love the speed though. Franklin Square is supposed to reopen this year.
