Fox Chase Rapid Transit Line
The Fox Chase Rapid Transit line was an experimental transit operation spearheaded by SEPTA from 1981 to 1983, utilizing Philadelphia city transit operators instead of traditional railroad workers. The operation, covering 〔(Pennypack Creek Watershed Study, p. D3; Temple University, School of Environmental Design )〕 between Fox Chase and Newtown, Pennsylvania ended on January 14, 1983, mainly due to the failing train equipment (known as Budd Rail Diesel Cars or "RDC") SEPTA inherited from the bankrupt Reading Company that they had little interest in maintaining or operating.〔(SEPTA's 1991 Newtown Line Reactivation Study )〕 The line is currently known as the dormant section of SEPTA's Fox Chase Line: it is not officially abandoned nor railbanked.〔(abandonedrails.com/Newtown Branch )〕

(詳細はNortheast U.S. sold their interests to the newly government-created Conrail.〔(conrail.com/history )〕 At that time, SEPTA agreed to purchase the Reading Railroad's Newtown, Doylestown and Chestnut Hill branches while Conrail would perform commuter operations.〔(Newtown Branch History.html )〕 By 1980 Conrail wanted to be relieved of its money-losing commuter rail operations in order to survive financially. The Reagan Administration agreed with Conrail, and granted the operator permission to exit the commuter business on January 1, 1983. Commuter railroad employees and operations became the sole responsibility of local transit agencies.〔 Several newly formed transit agencies were created from this decision, such as Metro-North Railroad, New Jersey Transit Rail Operations, and MARC. Other regions utilized existing transit agencies to perform the commuter services, such as the MBTA and SEPTA.
