Bullet - Image of the front cover of the cassette case. In1931, the Philadelphia and Western rebuilt their track for high-speed operation and took delivery of ten lightweight streamlined cars from the J. G. Brill Co. Quickly nicknamed Bullets, five of these legendary cars were still in service when we shot them in action during 1988 and 1989. We have edited nearly eight hours of footage to recreate a spectacular 14-minute high-speed run from 69th Street to Norristown. Unlike our other DVDs, this one has no narration; just a bit of music while we see some of the intense and varied activity at 69th Street, and then the soundtrack belongs to four 100 horsepower traction motors in glorious binaural stereo.

Added to the DVD version:
SynchroMapsTM throughout, and a reference map.

19 minutes, all color

If you go to Philadelphia and want to ride this line (still very much in service, but using much newer cars), you can find schedules and maps here (it's now called Route 100, near the bottom of the page). This map shows how Route 100 integrates with the rest of the SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) rail system.
