I remember flying to Philly years ago, and was able to navigate from the airport, to my friends house in Langhorne, to downtown, etc, all via train. It was a decent way to get around, and considerably cheaper too.
That''s a new signal yet to be installed. The Arsenal project is a multi-year deal... since this video, a new crossover and part of the north end turnout for the future Civic Siding has been installed. This summer will see more major work going on.
@@tyreicedupass2402 - Besides, if THIS is slow, then be glad the Cynwyd line is shut until further notice - it's even slower. Is the Warminster line ex-freight? I have noticed that some lines (such as Warminster) are more characteristic of freight lines (not regional rail or even light rail lines - even elsewhere within SEPTA - and I'm not talking Paoli/Thorndale) I ask because I noticed that Warminster is mostly single-track - danged odd for commuter rail built for that purpose. However, conversions happen - MARC's light rail Glen Burnie/Cromwell line is one, and could be Warminster's twin. (While I've never ridden the Warminster line, I HAVE ridden the MARC Glen Burnie/Cromwell line - which is why I noticed the oddness.)
@@PGHammer21A Some of the Airport Lines coming from the Airport transition into the Warminster Line (others might terminate at Glenside or Fox Chase as well).
Commuter Rail/light rail to airports makes way too much common sense for one reason above all others - the maze of airport parking. (I don't blame Philadelphia International Airport, as it is FAR from alone - I have flown into several airports, and have taken commuter/light rail into all but three (one of them - oddly enough - is this one); however, I have been a vehicular (in addition to plane) passenger to Philadelphia International (specifically, Terminal C/International Arrivals - back when I-95 was snarled in lawsuits to pass through it). It's a problem in greater Washington, DC as well (all of the regional airports) - and now all are served by subway, commuter rail and/or light rail (Marshall BWI is serviced by both commuter rail via MARC's Penn Line and light rail - and I have used both; they also have a top-drawer airport shuttle bus system within the airport itself - I have used it as well). As I said, I don't blame Philly International - the problem is far from unique.
It seems to me that any city of any size that has a light rail system with a line that goes to an international airport would be a smart thing to do.....I have ridden Amtrak from BWI to Wilmington, Delaware after flying to BWI because Wilmington does not have passenger air service.....I found it to be very convenient, good service.I`ve also flown into and out of DFW International a number of times, and while I wasn`t able to use the light rail line that ran into the airport because of where I lived, I found the parking to be very convenient, easy to use.

Choo choo! I'm a train and I approve this excellent video!
University City is now known as Penn Medicine Station.
What is the time taken in this journey
This was in April of 2019.
That conductor was on point! I think I had ridden with him before.
Yeah he was!
Thought they reconfigured Arsenal Interlocking? 10:10 whats with the sideways signals?

@@trainman1971 Further - they JUST redid Arsenal Interlocking - part of the Big Repair in the Southwest Division (see SEPTA.ORG for details).
@@PGHammer21A And that project is not finished yet... there is still more to be done....
i really think septa needs to extend the route 36 trolly to Philly International Airport by making it go underground
That’d be cool
Why are the trains so slow ?
A combination of the physical characteristics of the railroad and the speeds being governed by PTC.
Way man
