    Yes i know ive made many posts on this but this is a in-depth explanation of the Market-Frankford line.

    Introduction to the Blue Line
    The Market-Frankford line known as the Blue line, MFL or The El is a subway in the Philadelphia Region spanding from Frankford Transportation Center in East Philadelphia to Girard in Northern Liberties to 2nd Street in Old Town, To 15th Street in Center City To Millbourne in Millbourne County and lastly 69th Street in Upper Darby. The MFL is interesting because it reaches speeds of 55MPH in between 30th street and 15th street. Septa and Bart have alot in common with their subway cars. Ill get back to that later in the Trains Section.

    Line

    The Market frankford line has 28 stations with nearly 200,000 daily riders
    Septa used to run A/B Rush hour service much similar to Mta's J/Z Lines skipping stations but it soon ended in 2020. Though i would like to see a/b trains in the game. Not too long after 15th street is septas Sub Surface trolleys that run from about 17th street to about 33rd street.

    Trains
    There is only 1 train on the MFL

    ADTranz M4

    Each train has 6 m4 cars.

    Now how i said Bart trains and Septa's are similar they both accelerate really fast and have similar propulsion sounds.
    The m4's were made in 1997-1999 and made by Adtranz and Bombardier.
    These trains also sound like MTA's R143/R188/R142a just with a quiter tone of mitrac.
    Max speed: 72 MPH (Design) 55 Mph (SERVICE)
    600V Dc 3rd rail
    I couldnt find much info on the cars :(

    Ending
    The MFL Would be a great subway for the game and those ar my reasons why.
    Heres a couple videos to help
