Fixing Your Branch Line: Cynwyd Line (ft. Classy Whale)

Since the last episode focused on the one NJT branch that terminated at Philadelphia, I might as well review the commuter rail network of the same city next: SEPTA. Among its large commuter rail network, I chose the Cynwyd Line for its incredibly short length, and how it unsurprisingly once played a larger role for the Pennsylvania Railroad. Likewise, as the second shortest commuter branch in the entire nation, this episode may be a bit short, but it still includes a wide variety of possibilities for branch line improvements.
