The Carpenter Express in Philadelphia
Posted by lvt1000 on Wednesday, July 27, 2016 12:37 AM

All the way into PC and early Conrail days a rush hour trip was operated from Suburban Station to Chestnut Hill that was express from Suburban Station to Carpenter and then local to Chestnut Hill. It was an odd site to see MP54s lumbering and swaying through the upper level at 30th Street while running on this service; but what I am looking for is a shot of it at Carpenter Station. Any Philadelphia "experts" remember this trip and do you have a picture? I am moving to a house near the station and would like a picture to go up on the wall when we get there.
