Levittown - Tullytown is a station on SEPTA's Trenton Line, located in the borough of Tullytown, PA. Despite this, most people only call this station Levittown.  History   Tullytown was built in 1835 as part of the Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad. The same shelters were up as late as 1911, when the windstorm of 1911 possibly destroyed them. It's unknown what replaced the station afterwards, but a new, larger, station was built in 1953 to support the newly built community of Levittown. This newly built station lasted until about 2014, when it was torn down and replaced by a much better station that was actually accessible, this one built in 2017.  Tour Outside of the station in the parking lot Levittown is a very large station, and it's parking lot is similarly large.

These new residents did not know of the villages of Bonair or Johnsville, they just knew the area to be "Warminster", so that's what the new station would be named. In order for this to work, electrification was extend...

Croydon is a station on the Trenton Line. The station is located at Bristol Pike and Cedar Avenue in Croydon, PA. Croydon is a census designated place in Bristol Township, located in south central Bucks County.  History Croydon station has a far longer and more storied history than one would expect, going back to 1834 with the opening of the Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad. Originally, the station was about 1000 feet or so away from the site of the current station. At the time, the station was cakled Schenck station, named after Dr. Joseph H. Schenck, who owned a large mansion nearby at the time. Schencks was a rich man, and there is a possibility that he had a railway branch off of the Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad. No one knows when exactly the station was renamed, or rebuilt the first time. All that is known is this it was after 1885.  Croydon station today is virtually unrecognizable from the Croydon station of the past. The old station house ...
