PHILADELPHIA-NEW JERSEY PATCO HEAVY RAIL
Philadelphia Local

The train in this photo is waiting to start its Saturday run from Lindenwold into Philadelphia.  This is one of the earlier Budd cars, and dates to the late 1960s.  A somewhat newer model of cars, built by Vickers, is also in use.   

The "Local" designation hints that during weekday rush hours some express service is provided.  Three stations are skipped along the middle portion of the route.
