Station Review #19: Trevose (SEPTA)

Image
Trevose is a station on SEPTA's West Trenton Line. Trevose station is located in Trevose, PA, a small village located between Bensalem and Lower Southampton townships. Despite the station itself being located in Bensalem township on a technicality (the boundary between Bensalem and Lower Southampton Townships in this area is Brownsville road, which is a block away), Trevose is thought of by the locals as the main station for Lower Southampton, especially as most of Trevose is located in Lower Southampton Township.  History Trevose station in the early 1900s The old station house for Trevose station was built somewhere between 1888 and 1893, by the Philadelphia and Reading Company, and remained in service for almost a century afterwards.  A color photo of the Trevose station house from the late 1960s In 1970, Trevose station was torn down and rebuilt, downsizing it.  Station Tour Train departing towards West Trenton at Trevose Station
