Visiting during the transit strike of 1977, I got to Upper Darby and 
return via Reading Terminal - Norristown - 69th St - Sharon Hill line 
to Clifton - Suburban Terminal. It took an entire morning, of course, 
and it was out of the question to go back to retrieve the wallet of 
traveller's checks I had dropped in 69th St. Terminal

Ah, that old scam! I've employed it on that line and toured London, 
Sydney and other cities that way. Don't think I'm enough of a 
gambler to try it nowadays, though.
