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. Considering how Levittown as a place is, this is an acceptable station to put lots of parking into.  Stairs and ramps This station is fully accessible....

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 ...

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. It's extremely small and only has a few benches.  Notice board with a notice on it from 2001 Inside of the post office Unsig...

Eastwick is a station on SEPTA's Airport Line. The station is located along Bartram Avenue near 84th Street in Philadelphia's Eastwick neighborhood. There were plans to rebuild that station and make an Eastwick Transit Center, extending the T5 to it. Considering the capital funds are being siphoned for operational expenses now, it's unknown if this will even happen.   Tour Everything here is made out of wood. At least unlike Highland Avenue or County Line almost everything is on the ground or not all that far from it.  Crossing Shelter and sign Bench Wheelchair ramp Another end It brings me joy to think about how the map is basically zip tied to the fence.  Do you trust that bench? I don't ??????? Bench with small kiss-and-ride I wonder if there's any space here to actually park cars. The actual parking lot is on the other side of the station, and ...
