SUMMARY:Under the Schuylkill\, Over the Delaware: Trolley & PATCO Tour
DESCRIPTION:Jerry Silverman leads a tour from UPenn to PATCO.\n\n\n2 hours\, one SEPTA fare\, one PATCO fare\, and a short walk. \nBeginning at the portal at the 40th St Portal trolley station (near the intersection of 40th St and Baltimore Ave\, across from Woodland Ave)\, we will submerge beneath UPenn and learn about how the trolleys once bisected the campus on street level and originally crossed OVER the Schuylkill River. We will circle under City Hall and see where the Market Street trains once did the same. \nA short walk to the western end of PATCO at 15th and Locust and understand the original central subway loop that was never completed. We’ll pass through the newly reopened Franklin Square station and see a never used trolley station under the Ben Franklin Bridge Plaza. Riders will learn about the beautiful mosaics in the trolley waiting rooms on the bridge and continue all the way to the eastern end at Lindenwold. \nGuide Jerry Silverman was born to give this tour. He was the very first rider ever on PATCO as a teenager\, and later served as chair of the SEPTA Citizen Advisory Committee. \n***PLEASE NOTE*** NO BATHROOMS EN ROUTE. \nHidden City Members\, use your promo codes for discounts on tickets! \nQuestions\, concerns\, conundrums?
