Station Review #166: Rydal (SEPTA)

Image
Rydal is a station on SEPTA's West Trenton line, located at Susquehanna Road and Washington Lane in the small village of Rydal, PA, itself located in Abington Township, PA.  History Rydal station was originally built either in 1883 by the North Pennsylvania Railroad, or in 1888 by the Reading Railroad, though the former is more likely due to the architectural style being more in line with NPRR's depots. At some point around the 2000s, there was a station restoration.  Tour The station nowadays Rydal station hasn't changed all that much in the past few decades.  Doorway Post office sign Much of the depot nowadays is a small post office.  Waiting room Rydal has a waiting room, usually only open on weekdays between 5:30 AM and 12:30 PM.

Station Review #161: Gulph Mills (SEPTA)

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  Outdated signage This station honestly feels like it came from a different era with how much outdated signage there is.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

Station Review #156: County Line (SEPTA)

Image
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...
