Elwyn is a SEPTA station located on Elwyn Road in Elwyn, Pennsylvania, itself located in Middletown Township, in Delaware County. Elwyn Station is located on the Media-Wawa line and is a zone 3 station.   History The original Greenwood station     This station started out as Greenwood station, and was built for the Pennsylvania Training School, a school for children with Intellectual Disability, as well as other developmental disorders. The name was changed in the 1880s to better fit the fact that it was for the school. Considering the fact that the Pennsylvania Training School was named after Dr. Albert L. Elwyn, this seemed to work out well enough. To this day, people going to the Elwyn School  (which the school renamed itself to) is a decent chunk of the ridership.  Of course, the small village of Greenwood ended up renaming itself to Elwyn. Elwyn at this point was still rural, a small village built around the school and the station.  Th...

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  Outdated signage This station honestly feels like it came from a different era with how much outdated signage there is.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...
