| Railfan Pictures of the Week - 3/1/2026 |
| July 12 2025 My daughter's car had trouble on the way to a bridal shower, so the call goes out to dad. The car was parked at Linden Avenue in Philadelphia, so I drive down to the city to give her my car so she could go to the shower while I wait for a tow, which would take over an hour to arrive. Fortunately the car was just a block from the NEC and I had my camera, so the time went by pretty quickly, starting with an eastbound Keystone with cab car AMTK 9636 leading on Track 2. |

| For those not familiar with the area, it is the site of flange lubricators on tracks 1 and 2 heading into Torresdale curve. Not long ago there was also a switch to a siding servicing Philadelphia Water Department's Baxter Water Treatment Plant, but that was removed when Track 1 got concrete ties. |
