This afternoon: finally getting around to the Red Arrow trolleys, then figured it might be worth it to also extend the Girard el to 69th, too. Need to plan everything out well because the Norristown High Speed Line also has to fit in. Also thinking about the old Red Arrow Route 104 to West Chester.

In addition to the Center City tunnel that copies the real thing, there's now a mirror version. The new crosstown route is Chestnut Hill West to the Sports Complex via 29th Street and Delaware Ave

got around to building a version of the Center City tunnel and produced two more crosstown routes. might keep the weird terminals around for rush hour overflow service.

Hell yeah, road labels! They look great. Kind of got scared about the river depth constraints, but none of my crossings violated the rules.

Haven't figured out exactly where it's going north of Girard (maybe Fox Chase?) but why not another subway for South Philly? Think of the easy access to cannoli

South Jersey is calling to me. Or is that just a craving for pork roll?

still have some things to decide, but the Delaware Avenue elevated is coming to life

Rough signage concept for stations on circle/number lines. Stripes inspired by NJ Transit (as seen by one color scheme option). In the universe of this save, these lines will be part of a private competitor to the city-owned Philadelphia Municipal Transit Co., but I haven't yet thought up a name.

As in real life, Spring Garden on the Ridge spur is abandoned. Can't zoom in enough to see the graffiti, but you can assume that it's there.
