SEPTA to tear up Bethlehem Branch tracks! - Page 2 - PhillyBlog

SEPTA is leasing the ROW to the township for a nominal sum, and is retaining the right to convert the ROW back to rail serve at their discretion.

Not the most ideal situation, but better than outright abandonment or selling off of the ROW.

DVRPC actually makes those decisions.

Not Septa.
