The Market Street Railway historic preservation group used them when it was running the Trolley Festival cars on Market Street (which developed into the F-line.) The wye at Broad and Plymouth was the original M-line turnaround. The wye at Church and 30th (the original J-line turnaround) is also still there. These wyes are never used in service. There are some short turns on the N and J lines, but the short-turn LRVs simply switch at crossovers and change ends. Silas Warner
