So some quick comparative math, at the current numbers Montreal's REM is about US$5.94 billion for 42 miles (not finished costs may increase further) or around $141 million per mile.
At that rate KOP Rail at 4.5miles would be $640 million

Going to file this under "Aged in a Fascinating Way," but I forgot that Marvel had a plot point in one of the Avengers series where Russia unilaterally makes Count Dracula ruler of Chernobyl (you know a part of Ukraine), and this came out before the special military operation

SEPTA looking for consultants for the Silverliner VI procurement. Needed to help receive and grade out proposals, design and execute facilities upgrades, and basically be able to fly out and make sure the builder isn't doing anything boneheaded that'll mess things up

The new New Avengers run references how a bunch of Marvel's heroes canonically have a cosmic scale body count after the 2013-2015 Avengers run (and Marvel editorial's decision to ignore the fact that storyline ends with its events being undone and just continue as if they weren't)

So anyway, that just leaves the Broad Street Line and the P&W waiting for their fleet renewals
BSL could be any number of subway platforms. The P&W is going to be the interesting one whether they end up wanting to automote it, adapt something, or buy something goofy from Stadler or whoever

Found a YouTube channel that's been digitizing film reels one of which was someone filming the last day of service to Reading Terminal. Imagine that station approach nowadays had we not gotten the tunnel

"Your honor, this cannot possibly be pertinent razzing as regards this trial"
Defense tells judge they want to question Lairmore about 'gag gifts' he received from fellow officers after the alleged assault, including a Subway sandwich plush toy and a patch that (unless I misheard) said 'Felony Footlong.'
Prosecutors object. Defense argues they reflect CBP 'state of mind.'

A Pennsylvania Fair Share Amendment, you say? Ah, yes, that does sound good
Yass joined Comcast and dozens of other corporations, foundations, and individuals in backing Trump’s controversial project to construct a ballroom where the East Wing of the White House once stood.
Jeffrey Yass, Pa.’s richest man, donated at least $2.5 million to Trump’s White House ballroom
Jeffrey Yass, a GOP megadonor, is also a major investor in ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, and he could benefit from a deal to keep the social media app in the United States.
