No, the only line still running (the F) has loops at each end, and any
turning around they do (mostly at 11th & Market) requires changing
poles.

Not at all, they are fully functional, even if they are rarely (or never)
needed these days.  IMO it's better to have them and not need them
than the other way around, and I was quite surprised when I first learned
that there were cities whose fleets didn't include them.
