Reply to Why do BSL express trains not hold for an extra 5 seconds so the local passengers can transfer by RoughRhinos
The next 3 stops are exactly the same and up until Girard there is a difference of only 1 stop. They often stop at girard for the transfer where it is quite valuable. No point transferring at Walnut, just slows both trains down.

Oh man, I used to walk there to redeem my “Phillies win, you score a free chicken sandwich” every now and then. Bummer.

Trains don’t have steering wheels for turning. There are people at a central hub changing track switches to move trains from one track to another. They don’t call it left or right, they probably use more meaningful terms like northbound/southbound track.
