8000-series car on Rt 26 westbound on Chelten near Knox. This photo is in the vicinity where Rt 26 connected with two Broad Street Subway feeder lines -- Rts 23 (Germantown) and 53 (Wayne). The photo probably dates to late 1955 or early 1956. At that time, these rails still were shared on Chelten with double-ended Route 52.
