SEPTA's Regional Rail serves Greater Philadelphia almost entirely with electric multiple units. But for rush hour express services, they roll out their few locomotives and traditional coaches, and today, I happened to be in the right place at the right time to ride them!

For the maybe three of you who care - yes, I filmed and edited this video over a year ago and I've been sitting on it for reasons that take way too long to get into, hence the lower audio and visual quality. This is a bit of a stopgap while I cram for my occupational therapy board exam - I promise the regular show will be back soon!
