Philly's Subway

This is a simple 4-track express station on North Broad St. Express and Ridge St trains stop here as well as locals. This is the last transfer point for the Ridge St trains before it enters the spur.

Transfer here for the 15-Girard Streetcar line

Southern end of the southbound platform. (8/29/08) IT is very obvious that the NYC Subway was used as a pattern for North Broad stations. Compare this station to any NY BMT/IRT express station. (8/29/08)
But unlike NY, the outer walls at the express stations do not contain tilework and are rather plain. (8/29/08)
