Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority - the trains, trolleys, subway, buses in and around PhiladelphiaWhat is Septa?
So is this locomotive.A Sprinter is a van, built by Mercedes-Benz, and should be used on Septas ParaTransit routes. The CitiesSprinter is what we are talking about.
A joke.What is Septa?
It's a good thing I wasn't drinking anything when I read that last part, I'd have needed a new keyboard!So is this locomotive.A Sprinter is a van, built by Mercedes-Benz, and should be used on Septas ParaTransit routes. The CitiesSprinter is what we are talking about.

The trains are always nicer in someone else’s backyard.I agree, cpotisch.
However, I absolutely love SEPTA and have a warm place in my heart for most things connected with it (inexplicable to some on here, but I think I may get a pass for having NJT as my commuter rail and seeing what is across the river as nicer).
This is true. Amtrak units have toilets cause most runs that engineers have are over an hour and a half and engineers will use the bathroom during station stops. Septa doesn't believe in bathrooms. That was the worst part of working there.I had heard that there are bathrooms in the Amtrak AVS-64s, but not the SEPTA ones. Is that true? I was surprised to hear that any locomotives have bathrooms inside.
seeing there is no overhead line, I guess they need a charger to charge the sprinter?Looks like there is a Charger sitting in the building behind the Sprinter.

That reminds me of some stories I've heard on steam locomotives. There is one man who was a legend Bill Purdie who was the head man over the Southern Railway Steam Program.This is true.

It's looking like June 1st is the debut of the Septic Sprinters in Revenue Service.
Finally! At last we'll be seeing a genuinely good lucking ACS-64 in service. Here's a video I found taken today of an in-service Sprinter:Septa's first Sprinter went into revenue service yesterday on the daily "Great Valley Flyer" Which is a heavily traveled train. It runs Express from 30th Street to Paoli, and then is local to Thorndale.
