Philadelphia's Subway & Light Rail Network Evolution

From its beginning in 1895, Philadelphia's subway and light rail network has grown to 109 stations, spanning 164 kilometres (102 miles). This animated video takes you through the timeline of when new stations were opened, forming the SEPTA, PATCO, and New Jersey Transit network that we know today.
