Subway-Surface Route Below Drexel and Penn

This contemporary map shows the route of subway-surface cars from the SEPTA station at 31st and Market streets below the Drexel and Penn campuses. Underground stations are located at 33rd and Market (Drexel), 36th and Sansom (Penn), and 37th and Spruce (Penn). Subway cars leave the tunnel and surface through a portal at 40th Street, where the cars convert to overhead powerlines. These are the familiar electric trolleys that today ply Woodland and Baltimore avenues.
