Abandoned subway systems around Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

It's going to be a long process replacing the previous posts,
but I did find a copy of one of my old ones (and updated the
link in it).

Pennsylvania has a periodically unsued subway
station, Franklin Square on the Port Authority Transit Co.
PATCO High Speed Line to Lindenwold, New Jersey. Trains run
through but don't stop. Next they pass the never used and
uncompleted trolley terminal in the Benjamin Franklin Bridge
Plaza, and the never used or completed combination trolley
and subway stations in each of the anchorages of the bridge.
Almost under the trolley terminal is the abandoned 5th & Vine
Sts. trolley (streetcar, tram) station, which wasn't used by
the replacement busses! Motor vehicles still use the tunnel.
Here's a link:

If that doesn't work, try to cut-and-paste this:

Trains pass Spring Garden St. Station on the Ridge Ave. Subway
without stopping. Even when it was last used, the South half
and stairs were already abandoned.

There are unused sections, stairs, and corridors of various
subway stations, especially on the Broad St. and Ridge Ave.
subways, and at City Hall, Camden, New Jersey Station on PATCO.

Unused parts of the Subway-Elevated train and Subway-surface
trolley loop around City Hall still exist, some as store rooms
and others are visible from the trolley tracks.

Iv'e always wanted to check out the subways in philly but assumed it would be too dangerous. When I go to the city I usually take PATCO and always wondered about Franklin Square Station not being in use. Its probably the gloomiest, scariest looking station Iv'e ever seen.
