From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SEPTA Metro consists of twelve lines containing thirteen trains; The L and B, both of which were inherited from the former Philadelphia Transportation Company , and originally built by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company . It also includes the M, an interurban rail line between Norristown, Pennsylvania and Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania , originally owned by the Philadelphia and Western Railroad , then acquired by the Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Company (PSTC).
The system also contains several trolley lines and interurban lines. The five T line branches and the single G line were inherited from the former Philadelphia Transportation Company (PTC) and originally built by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company (PRT). The two D line branches were built by the Philadelphia and West Chester Traction Company (P&WCTC) and later inherited by the Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Company (PSTC). Operation of these two branches were taken over by SEPTA in 1970.
