Lombard-South is a station on SEPTA's Broad Street Subway. The station is located on Broad Street between Lombard and South Streets. This station is only served by B1 trains.  Tour Stairwell into the station  This is mostly an average B line station. In fact, compared to most stations south of Walnut-Locust, I fail to see any important points where this station is much different at all.  Stairs Unfortunately, this station isn't accessible at all. This is similar to many other B line stations, and is hopefully set to change soon.  One way turnstiles This entrance looks unusable from this angle, but that's only an optical illusion thankfully. Mezzanine All stations between Snyder and Race-Vine station have a mezzanine of some form.  Wall with racks for bikes and benches Turnstiles Platform A lot of the South Philadelphia stations have the same platforms. It's an island ...

Gulph Mills is a station on SEPTA's M Line, located at 925 Trinity Lane. This is within the village of Gulph Mills, PA, a small affluent community in Upper Merion Township, PA. The area was named Gulph Mills due to there being several mills along the nearby Gulph Creek. Multiple points near the area are also tied to the Battle of White Marsh, which happened during the American War of Independence.    Tour It mostly looks like every other larger M station. The only important part is that both platform's shelters look fairly fancy.  Outdated signage This station honestly feels like it came from a different era with how much outdated signage there is.  Working countdown clock Stairs Map Bench inside one of the shelters Ramp This station is fully accessible, with ramps leading to areas outside of the platforms, and full high level platforms.  Bus loop and park...

Chelten Avenue is a station on SEPTA's Chestnut Hill West line, located on Chelten avenue in West Germantown.  History Chelten station in 1916 Chelten station was created by the Pennsylvania Railroad for their rail line to Fort Washington/Whitemarsh in 1884 or so as "Germantown station" but was renamed to "Chelten station" to distinguish it from the Philadelphia and Germantown railroad's Germantown station. Not long after this, A branch to Chestnut Hill was made, which had three new stations, this branch quickly becoming more popular than the branch to Fort Washington itself. Chelten station quickly became a very popular station, as Germantown itself was a popular destination where many lived, (and still do live). Sometime around 1916, the Pennsylvania Railroad started a project for grade separating the line at Chelten Avenue itself, as this area had high traffic. The current station was finished in 1918.  The 1950s brought great chan...
