2012 Route 15 Rail Renewal

When trolleys return to
Route 15 - hopefully by mid-April 2012 - this new loop at Frankford Avenue
& Delaware Avenue will be the new eastern terminus for trolleys. A diesel
bus shuttle will serve the eastern portion of Route 15 until, perhaps, 2014
or 2016.
In late 2011 - early 2012,
SEPTA is spending $1.2 million to replace 7000 linear feet of badly worn rail
on Girard Avenue.

SEPTA's $1.2 million investment in Route 15 hopefully bodes well for the line's future as an electric streetcar route.
