Bridesburg is a train station located in the Frankford neighborhood of Philadelphia, immediately outside of Bridesburg. Bridesburg station is located along the Trenton line, where it intersects with Bridge Street and Aramingo/Harbison avenues, and the second closest station to Torresdale avenue (the closest would have been the now closed Frankford station that I believe was much closer to Adams avenue).  History I could not find a single historical picture of the station online.

Despite the station itself being located in Bensalem township on a technicality (the boundary between Bensalem and Lower Southampton Townships in this area is Brownsville road, which is a block away), Trevose is thought of by the locals as the main station for Lower Southampton, especially as most of Trevose is located in Lower Southampton Township.  History Trevose station in the early 1900s The old station house for Trevose station was built somewhere between 1888 and 1893, by the Philadelphia and Reading Company, and remained in service for almost a century afterwards.  A color photo of the Trevose station house from the late 1960s In 1970, Trevose station was torn down and rebuilt, downsizing it.  Station Tour Train departing towards West Trenton at Trevos...
