Philly's Subway

This is the southern end of the BSS. It opened in 1973. It serves several major sports venues in the area. It is designed for the before and after games crowds. There are 4 street entrances. There are 2 levels with a total of 4 tracks. The upper level has a very wide platform and is long enough for 2 trains on each track. There is also a lower level that can fit at least 2 more trains. All tracks are stub end.

The Lower level is rarely used. The headhouses are only open as necessary. Outside of games, this station is very quiet.
