The single unit ABB N-5 cars were originally considered a light rail vehicle, but because of its separated right-of-way, high platforms, and 3rd rail supply, it is now considered a "heavy rail interurban line" and SEPTA renamed it the Norristown High Speed Line in September of 2009.

SEPTA’s Rt 100 Norristown High Speed Line (a.k.a. the P&W) is one of two remaining interurban lines in the country. Also, it is a very unique line, in the fact that it combines aspects of Light Rail and Heavy Rail.
