That Amfleet car is there only for its bathrooms. Only MARC cars that are cab cars have such.

Wow, look at that crazy wavy track on the work equipment siding in contrast to the mainline.

Was the Amcafe staffed for service, or just seats and the bathroom?

There's a tradition that dies hard.

Of course MD MTA can't get any of those ACS-64s for regular MARC Penn Line service.

That track is used by Conrail Shared Assets to access the Bustleton Branch at Holmesburg Junction, the next SEPTA stop east of our location. To say it is a slow speed movement is an understatement:
