Inspired by similar documents on Boston and New York, I realized that
Philadelphia has a few MIA pieces of subway:
Ben Franklin Station - PATCO
Ben Franklin Bridge Transfer Station - PATCO/MFSE
Station under Sears at Roosevelt Avenue (The store has been
demolished) waiting for a BSS extension
Arch Street Subway (somewhere between 8th and 12th)
But I need more details to write a real paper. Does anyone have them?

Dear Bill,
Just so you know, a term paper was published many
years ago which is chock full of maps and references
to old subway proposals (and partially built lines)
in Philly. The paper is "Speed Lines to City and
Suburbs" by John Sechler. The only copy I know of
I received on loan from the Los Angeles MTA's
reference library. The paper is excellent and was
written circa 1974.
