Wye track directly connecting the east-west PRR main line to Pittsburgh with the line to New York City, bypassing downtown Philly and 30t St station. Formerly used by premier passenger trains like the Broadway Limited, the Subway ceased revenue operation after all passenger trains required a downtown stop. Today the subway is used by some MoW and freight trains, and the wye is used to reverse train sets and special charters.
