Southampton (SEPTA station)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Southampton is an abandoned train station located on Second Street Pike (PA-232) near Knowles Avenue in Upper Southampton, Pennsylvania. The station, built in 1892, was a stop on the Reading Railroad's Newtown Line. It later became a part of SEPTA's R8 Newtown Line. On January 2, 1982, the crossing at Second Street Pike just south of Southampton station was the site of a fiery crash between a train, a gasoline truck and a car.^[1] The station, and all of those north of Fox Chase, was closed in 1983. There are ongoing efforts to raise funds for the station's restoration.^[2]
