8131 on Rt 31 in the loop at 70th and Lansdowne. This was a rather rare photo since the line normally operated with 5200 series double ended cars after 1949, when access to the subway was cut by subway extension construction.

8131 on Rt 31 in the loop at 70th and Lansdowne. This was a rather rare photo since the line normally operated with 5200 series double ended cars after 1949, when access to the subway was cut by subway extension construction. The destination sign was 70-Lansdowne, with Haverford to the left of the photo, and loop access from Lansdowne on the right.
