PAOLI >> For decades, SEPTA has had a long tradition of celebrating the arrival and departure of its rail fleet. SEPTA will continue this tradition on Saturday, Dec. 1, with a “Farewell to the AEM-7 Locomotives” excursion trip.

Rail enthusiasts can begin boarding the special farewell excursion train from Paoli Station at 10:25 a.m. After departing from Paoli Station, the farewell excursion train will make stops at Wayne, Radnor, Bryn Mawr, 30th Street and Suburban Station. At Suburban Station, the group will have an opportunity to visit the western themed holiday decorated train on Track 0, shop and stretch their legs.
