Jim, Depends how long its been since you've been here. I havn't been on the R5 since I graduated from Temple U. in 1995, but I know I've seen the AEM7s running push-pull on the express trains during rush hour. I also understand that the Lansdale station has been renovated so it probably looks a little less like a scene from an old Russian movie inside, with its leaking stained glass windows and wishful-thinking radiators making people think the waiting room's heated. In Doylestown, the freight house has been skinned, its steel trusses and columns waiting for new sheathing and new life as a brew-pub. I'll have to drive by tonight and see what it looks like, the last time I remember checking it out was in the summer. Generally, the line has been modernized, the stretch from Lansdale to Gladwynnne doesn't shake your breakfast out of your stomach any more, and the platforms have all gotten ADA-compliant wheelchair loading platforms. Lastly, the old Silverliners are sporting a stylin' new red-fade-to-blue stripe along the windows, and of course ditch lights bolted to the front of the old MU cars. Eric from Doylestown
