Walnut Street is a station on SEPTA's D1 and D2 lines. The station is located at Garretsford Road and Walnut Street in downtown Upper Darby, PA Tour Trolley Walnut Street is a generic trolley stop, not much interesting or important here. Not accessible, but the D1/D2 aren't accessible at all anyways.  Bench and platform Signpost I think there used to be a sign here advertising the new SEPTA Metro signage, but someone tore it down.  Inside the shelter This really is just a generic trolley stop.

Cynwyd is the outbound terminus for SEPTA's Cynwyd Line. The station is located at Montgomery Avenue and Conshohocken State Road in downtown Bala-Cynwyd, PA. Bala-Cynwyd is a census designated place within Lower Merion Township, PA. The Cynwyd Line is by far the least used SEPTA Regional Rail line. Only about six trains a day run on the Cynwyd Line, weekdays only.  Bala and Cynwyd were originally separate towns, unifying due to both sharing a post office. This is why Bala and Cynwyd both have their own train stations. History Cynwyd was originally a station along the Pennsylvania Railroad's Schuylkill Branch. The Schuylkill branch went parallel to Reading Railroad's Main Line. Cynwyd station was most likely originally built in 1880-1882, and then rebuilt in 1890 in a far more grand manner.    In the 1970s, most of the line west of Manayunk was abandoned. The line was re-extended to Ivy Ridge, and the Cynwyd line was operated as the R6, which paired it with the...
