From 49th and Kingsessing Ave the line moves east along Kingsessing Ave. The line then moves south along 46th St to Paschall Ave where it jogs to join Grays Ferry where the line runs to the
Schuylkill River. Philadelphia City Planning Commission

Today however the R3 tracks are the more common reference dividing Southwest from
West Philadelphia.
