The Frankford curve is where the line turns from an easterly orientation to a more northerly orientation. Nearby Frankford Junction is where the line to the Delair Bridge to south Jersey diverges. That line also carries New Jersey Transit trains to and from Atlantic City.
Typical Amtrak NE Regional train is 7-8 cars: 5-6 coaches, cafe car, business class coach, all Amfleet.
