PHILADELPHIA HEAVY RAIL
North of Girard

This photo shows the Frankford El from Girard St. in North Philadelphia.  Trolley service has been restored to the surface street, and electric transit in this area has a nice feel of yesteryear about it.

South of this location, the elevated line was relocated to the median of  I-95, also above-ground,  when the Delaware Expressway was constructed decades ago.  There is one station along that portion, at Spring Garden.
