On Wednesday January 2, 2019, my brother and I made an adventure of exploring the SEPTA system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We bought Independence Passes, which offer essentially unlimited travel on the SEPTA transportation system for a day, and we sampled a variety of modes and lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We began at Parkside Avenue by boarding the number 40 bus (GASP!), then to the Market-Frankford rapid transit. At Jefferson Station\/Market East we picked up a heavy rail train to Norristown where we transferred to the  old Philadelphia & Western high-speed line to 69th<\/sup>Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there the Media trolley to its namesake (yes, there\u2019s a town called Media, Pennsylvania, and it’s one of the last with a single track trolley right up the main street.) Reaching the end of the trolley line at Orange Street, we walked to the old PRR station, and boarded a train that ran through to West Trenton, New Jersey, although we alighted at Woodbourne, PA to meet our friend Pat Yough, who took us by road to a nearby pub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our return trip retraced our steps to Philadelphia\u2019s suburban station, where after some trials and missteps, eventually found the appropriate bus (GASP!) and this brought us back to where we began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light was dreary, but I made photos anyway using with both my Lumix LX7 and FujiFilm digital cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
