Eddystone is a SEPTA Regional Rail station located at East 7th Street and Saville Avenue in Eddystone, PA. This station is a flag stop for the Wilmington-Newark Line. Eddystone is by far the least used station on the Wilmington-Newark Line and for the entire SEPTA Regional Rail network as a whole. Eddystone is unsurprisingly also a flag stop.  History      Eddystone station was most likely built in the 1870s, named after the Eddystone Print Works, which relocated there from Philadelphia in 1876. Said print works were named after the Eddystone Lighthouse near Plymouth, UK. In the 1890s, Eddington became an incorporated borough. Saville Avenue near the station was named after the man who founded the borough's wife's maiden name, in honour of her.        The height of this station was in the early 1900s, when the famous Baldwin Locomotive Company was established and had a factory very close by. At its peak, this factory produced mill...

County Line station is a station on SEPTA's M Line. This station is unique for being both within Delaware and Montgomery counties. For a long time, this station had been closed down due to the wooden platforms rotting to the point of unusability, and recently reopened to absolutely no fanfare whatsoever. Tour Train     County Line is the definition of a micro-station. It's hilariously small. Bench and map   That's basically all the amenities you get at this station. You don't even get lights for when someone inevitably uses this station at nighttime!  Accessible boarding plate There's an accessible bridge plate at this station, which doesn't have an accessible entrance. Why?  One of the sheds Like I said, this station is incredibly small. The staircase between the platform and station is wooden and incredibly daunting. I nearly had a panic attack going up them.  Southbound s...

Creek Road is a station on SEPTA's D2 line. The station is located at the rail line's intersection with Creek Road. Creek Road is essentially a trail, making this one of the few SEPTA stations that's either directly in or next to a major park. It's very likely that this is the least used station on the D2, though I'm still calculating ridership for the line.  Tour Trolley Creek Road is a very small station, its platforms barely fit the trolleys themselves.   Bench Obviously this station isn't accessible since the Kawasaki K-Car trolleys themselves aren't. Even without that though, Creek Road would still be inaccessible.  Stairs A lengthy staircase is the only way down The entire northbound platform The northbound platform is longer than the southbound platform. On the other side of that platform there's a line map. There's supposed to also be a full system map but that's missing. Instead...

Scenic Road is a station on SEPTA's D1 Line. The station is located at the line's intersection with Scenic Road in Springfield Township, Delaware County, PA.  Tour Shelter Scenic Road is a normal D1 station in most cases. Bench Inside the shelter  Signage! There are no notices on the board, and the map is outdated This map is from 2014 Westbound platform Back of shelter Parking meter being installed Parking Why exactly Scenic Road has this much parking, I have no clue. The parking lot does get use though The bustitution shuttle stop    Normally, I don't feature these, but the location of this one was funny enough to include it. It's at a random street corner far enough away that the average person wouldn't notice it.  That trolley later broke down between Huey Avenue station and the Drexel Hill Junction and was stuc...
