SEPTA Route 53

SEPTA Route 53 is a former street car line and current bus route, operated by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. The line runs between the West Mount Airy and Hunting Park neighborhoods primarily along Wayne Avenue.

Route description

SEPTA Route 53 starts at Carpenter's Woods in West Mount Airy. The street and the line wind through a restidential area, then straightens out before it cross over the Chestnut Hill West Line, near Tulpehocken (SEPTA station). No direct connection to the station exists, and the same goes for SEPTA Bus Route 65. From there the street runs in fairly close proximinty to the Chestnut Hill Line, until it moves to the south, past Chelten Avenue, while Wayne and Route 53 maintain the same course.

The scenery becomes less residential as it gets closer to Wayne Junction, where the line turns south on Clarissa Street which goes under the Roosevelt Expressway, and runs along the east side of a massive railroad yard then intersects with West Hunting Park Avenue. The line moves to West Hunting Park for one block, then moves to 17th Street until it intersects with Erie Avenue, which carries SEPTA Route 56, another former street car converted into a bus route. West-to-northbound buses use Pulaski Road between Erie Avenue and 17th Street, as did the trolleys. Both routes connected to Erie Station on the Broad Street Subway Line, as well as Germantwon Avenue, which carries SEPTA Route 23. While SEPTA Route 56 continues northeast to the Torresdale-Cottman Loop in Tacony, Route 53 takes a left turn on 10th Street, and heads north towards the former Luzerne Depot, which became an all bus garage, and is now a cardboard recycling plant.
