SEPTA trolley service in the tunnel connecting West Philadelphia with Center City resumed this morning. The tunnel was closed for 16 days for the annual maintenance and construction called the Trolley Tunnel Blitz. This summer SEPTA crews replaced about 7,500 feet of track on the westbound side of the tunnel between 22nd Street Station and the 40th Street Portal.

Unfortunately it wasn’t running through the tunnel when I left for work this morning at 7:30. But they were running this afternoon.
I hope I’m not speaking too soon but the trolleys seem a little quieter now with the new tracks.
