  Hey everyone, Steve here, just to let you know, if you're watching the intro to the video but aren't hearing the music you'd expect to see, it got copyright claimed, so I muted it. Odd, seeing though my previous video didn't get hit for it, but whatever.

  Some of them were designed by architect Frank Furness. That's why some of them are appealing.

  Septa and Amtrak have blown a great opportunity to improve the keystone branch. The biggest problem on this branch is capacity. Septa train must wait for Amtrak train where they share station stops,  Ardmore, Paoli, Exton and Downingtown. These stations should have receive full length high level island platforms to accommodate simultaneous boarding for both railroads while eliminating holds for Septa at Downingtown,  Bryn Mawr and Overbrook. It is tragic what Amtrak, Septa and the cowardly PA. government has done to this line and public transportation in general.

  I live in Europe, and the closest I've ever been to Philadelphia is Scotland. And still I was glued to the screen the entire video. Thank you so much, sir.

  Now we need videos about train stations on NJ Transit. Because NJ Transit has some stations that are incredible and some that are horrendous.

  As someone who regularly uses the CHW, going from 30th, passing North Philadelphia, and disembarking at Richard Allen Lane is pure whiplash.

  I live in Ardmore. It was a huge pain having to go to Lancaster Avenue just to get to the other side when it closed down. Thank god it reopened again, and yes, Ardmore is a really good station.

  The main thing I took away from this video is that Philly has a ton of weird station names

  Suburban Square was the original suburban mall, it’s been open since the 20s or 30s. Ardmore has been wed to the railroad for a long time.

  Septa has improved their regional rails. However not so much everything else
