A huge dragon made from what looks like (and maybe is) paper lantern material slithers through Franklin Square during the Philadelphia Chinese Lantern Festival in the Chinatown neighborhood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

New PATCO route map including Franklin Square station

Franklin Square sign above tracks

#PATCO #FranklinSquare station opens today!

Initial thoughts:
- New station is nice and clean
- New station has no WiFi?
- Driver confusion? Sign said next train east would be in six minutes. As a train came through, sign said “stand back, train will not stop.” Then the train stopped (4:15 p.m.)

Franklin Square Station opening April 3rd 2025.
