Route 15

Philadelphia

This is the "newest" line in Philadelphia. Route 15 had been closed many years ago and slowly rebuilt. It reopened ~2006 using PCC2 cars. This line does NOT use the sub-surface subway. It runs right by the Philly Zoo. It runs from Haddington in the west to Port Richmond in NE Philly.
