3 inbound leaving Clifton Heights Station and substation at Baltimore Pike.
Historical Trivia 1: the electrical gear inside the station building was reported to have come from Ridley Creek Substation on the West Chester Line after closure in 1954.
Also, shortly after the line opened, the foreground once hosted a freight station complete with an unloading siding west of the revenue tracks. A picture in Ron DeGraw's "The Red Arrow"shows this. Line car 07 was a frequent caller there in her original configuration as a milk/express car. Clifton was also the first terminus of the Sharon Hill Line.
