Details the history of SEPTA's acquisitions and its preservation of commuter and trolley lines in Philadelphia.
Viewing SEPTA'S Rail Heritage began with the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) acquiring the Philadelphia Transportation Company in 1968 followed by acquiring Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Company in 1970, and taking over operation of Consolidated Rail Corporation commuter rail services in the greater Philadelphia region in 1983. This book carefully covers the commuter lines and trolley lines that have been kept in place.
