OTOL Philadelphia Area RailFest 2005 was another fun railfan outing, held in mid March of 2005. We once again had representation from all over the United States, from Massachusetts to California to Ohio.

On Saturday, we rode two SEPTA commuter lines. Our light rail rides were on NJ TRANSIT's RiverLINE and part of SEPTA's Norristown Line. There were also some heavy rail lines on our itinerary, namely PATCO's Lindenwold Speedline and SEPTA's Market-Frankford and Broad Street Lines.

Sunday featured short rides on small parts of two SEPTA commuter lines, and a full round trip on another. The light rail portion of our day was represented by rides on four different trolley lines.
