Whoo Hoo! Lookie what I found On the [PA] border!

Okay, that's a SEPTA Market-Frankford Line car but why is it on a flatbed truck?  They are/were undergoing repairs but I thought it was being done at SEPTA's repair facility in Upper Darby at the 69th St. Terminal.

going to Hornell NY ??

You found it, now what do you do with it once you get it home?   

Is might be another Neil Young tourbus.

I think So!

Would that be an oversized load?

Kids these days...[sigh] Somebody should explain to them that the car has "wheels" on it and it can be moved along things called "rails" a lot more efficiently.

Arthur is it possible that it is so totally trashed, mechanically, that it can’t be moved by rail? Or it doesn’t meet a railroad specs for it to travel on their rail? Yeah, it would be interesting to know why.

The gauge of the M-F is 5' 2½".

That looks like Silk Road Transport out of Arkport NY, they specialize in oversize and railcar moves.  If you have ever had the opportunity to move a railcar on a flatcar by rail, you will quickly learn to appreciate how MUCH EASIER it is to truck them if at all possible.

Of course with the state of railroading today, that could be said of all freight.

Along with being a different gauge most light rail vehicles do not have comparable air brake systems or couplers.
