The last operating SL II, 9010, and III, 235, worked the Cynwyd Line together on Friday. The Cynwyd Line normally uses two single cars, but since 9010 and 235 worked together, SL V 710 was used for the other train.



train 1083 at Suburban Station prior to departure for Cynwyd






train 1083 at Cynwyd



train 1087 at Cynwyd




last revenue train for the last SL II and last SL III


SEPTA was kind enough to return the Philly passengers on the non-revenue return trip, normally a deadhead run into the west end of Powellton Yard. The added a photo op at Market East.





now retired, at 30th Street

Great photos, especially the ones where I got in them :-). I knew I should have hit the other end of the train at Cynwyd!

Weren't there 2 version of the SL-3, half intended for Harrisburg service ?

What was the 1st line the Pennsy SL-2's were used on ?
I think subsidies kicked in line by line, so they could not run everywhere. I seem to remember slogans like "Operation Northwest" for Manayunk or something like that.

This was a fantrip plain and simple. Photo stops, express runs, hanging out the windows, etc, etc, it just had the added benefit of being free. Ironically with what next day Amtrak Regional prices what they are this free fantrip cost me 3 times as much as the NRHS Charter. :-(

Very nice shots and report. I'm very sad that I couldn't make it for the last run.

Very nice. How much of a bump did the railfans give the ridership numbers on the R6 for the day?
