- SllX 4y agoThat's neat. Thanks for sharing!
- heavyset_go 4y agoNo problem. If you visit there, you can still see some of the rail lines in the streets.
- weberer 4y agoThey've paved over the rails in the 90's, but a few bus routes are still powered by the overhead lines. I forget the numbers, but one of them starts at the Frankford transportation center.
