Parkside Loop is a SEPTA bus loop located at 50th Street in the Parkside neighborhood of West Philadelphia.  Services and Transit Connections There are multiple buses that use this loop:  40 - 2nd-Lombard to Conshohocken-Monument : A few trips a day go to the Parkside Loop, often to short turn. Otherwise, you can catch this bus nearby at Parkside Avenue. Both variants of this bus run about once every 15 minutes 43 - Richmond-Cumberland to Parkside Loop: This bus is a crosstown route that uses Spring Garden Street and Haverford Avenue, among others.

What used to be the sign Orange Street is the westbound terminus station for SEPTA's D1 line. The station is located at State and Orange Streets in Media, PA.  History Media waa a borough formed in 1850, its borders formed from the sale of four farms. Much of it was quickly built and made the county seat of Delaware County. In 1913, the Philadelphia and West Chester Traction Company made two new interurban lines from their terminal at 69th Street Transit Center: one to Sharon Hill and one to Media. These two lines are the only remaining lines made by this company. The Media line terminated at Orange Street, and nothing about that has changed. The line changed hands multiple times but was never extended or cut back.  Sometime in the 1990s-2000s or so, a shelter was built here. It's been almost exactly the same since then.  Tour The station as a whole This is essentially just a modified bus stop. Bench inside station ...

Teterboro is a station on NJT's Pascack Valley Line. The station is located along Green street near the overpass with US-46 in the borough of Teterboro, NJ.  Tour This picture is almost all of Teterboro station. What a station it is.  That is the single platform. It's very thin, with more space for the tracks than the actual station itself. Folded bike for comparison Much of the small platform is the very wide yellow line, which lacks a tactile strip.  Closer look at the yellow strip Behind the platform is a guard rail from a highway, probably added to seperate the parking lot from the platform. This probably has to do with the fact that the platform itself is asphalt.  Another view of tracks and fence That fence wasn't always there. People often used to get to this station from the dead end street to the west of the station named Williams Avenue. the fence itself was installed in Feb...
