78 outbound just past Springfield Rd.
Typically, the operator would be relieved to have crossed Springfield Rd, an absolute stop on the Media Division. In these days, Springfield Road was easily the busiest and most dangerous grade crossing on this run, second only to West Chester Pike in vehicle activity.
The PST-provided parking lot on the right also hosted daily paper-route parties each afternoon as neighborhood boys set out to deliver each day's Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. In just minutes, the car will change ends at Woodland Avenue, and deadhead back to 69th St
