Centennial MontageSEPTA Celebrates the Centennial of 69th Street Terminal and the Route 100 (Norristown High Speed Line)
This past Saturday, SEPTA celebrated the 100-year anniversary of the 69th Street Terminal and the Route 100 (Norristown High Speed Line).  The ceremony consisted of speeches by various dignitaries, including SEPTA General Manager Joseph Casey, singing of the national anthem by Miss Pennsylvania, followed by music and dancing. 

The event also provided entertainment for all ages with free rides on the Route 100, hot dogs, pretzels and other complementary refreshments as well as entertainment for children.  A multi panel display, showed a historical perspective of the Terminal and the role it played in the Upper Darby community and to the greater Philadelphia region.  The event was well received and well attended by commuters, SEPTA staff and community and transit aficionados.  SEPTA wishes to thank everyone, especially our riders who helps make the event a success.
